I have gotten the crash-notification too. The thing I notice is constantly loosing wireless connection (varying between every two seconds to every three minutes (roughly)). But I am not sure, this is connected to pptp-crash.

@Prunus,
Which release are you running and which wireless driver are you using?

Prunus dulcis (prunus-dulcis) wrote :

@Jamin
Ubuntu 9.04 - Kernel Linux 2.6.28-11-generic (last update in the middle of this week)
Wireless Driver is ath5k - the open source version.

Anything else, that might help?

Actually did not check the date of the other posts - strange re-occurence, even more if I am the only one affected...

@Prunus,

This will get off topic for the PPTP problem, but her goes...

Figured you were using the open source ath driver. I had the same network disconnects while I was using it. Also had some seriously poor overall network throughput. I switched to the ath_pci driver and connectivity improved dramatically. Though, you'll need to create a custom file for the suspend process if you suspend your system.
