Steps to reproduce the problem:

 - plug in a 3g modem
 - sort out authentication via minicom
 - edit the attached file (change username, passwd, serial port and APN) and start wvdial with "sudo wvdial -C wvdial.conf connect"
 - The connection attempt won't succeed
 - In /var/log/messages you'll see a message like ("Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0.")

 - If I boot up with latest karmic kernel (2.6.31-19) all the problems are gone
