Binary package hint: ppp
Whenever I try to connect on Lucid with ppp/wvdial, I get the following error message in /var/log/messages:
Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0. The same card with the same configuration file will connect flawlessly as before on Karmic, so I suspect that this is a lucid regression. Do let me know if you need more information, this is critical for many projects/orgs!!

Well, turns out that is the kernel, not ppp!! I've booted with an old kernel (Karmic's 2.6.31-19) and ppp/wvdial work as expected. So the bug has to be in the kernel (2.6.32-12)
