Oh! I didn't think to check the syslog.conf stuff.

There is something strange going on. I have a simple set up. There are 
only two important network interfaces. I have a wired network connected 
to a WRT54GL wireless router, and I have a USB CDMA modem.

The USB modem works fine at long as my wired network is disconnected. As 
soon as I connect the WRT54GL, the something is running ifdown/ifup on 
ppp about every 5 seconds. When I disconnect the wired network, things 
return to normal (ppp stays up). eth0 has a static address. dhcp is 
running on eth0 to assign an address to the WRT54GL.

Also, /etc/resolv.conf isn't being written by pppd, but it is easy 
enough to do that myself for now.

Suggestions?
