This is for the Lazy guys only!

pppd stable 2.4.4 is already two years old. Don’t expect your pre-compiled pppd can be patched easily. I have to set up a virtual box for compilation for my own EEEpc’s sake.

For the 3G network bogus WINS / DNS issue, in case you are using EEEpc with ubuntu like me, you can try my compiled pppd.

After downloading, do this:

chmod 755 pppd

It is up to you to check against virus and malware.

sudo mv /usr/sbin/pppd pppd.backup
sudo mv pppd /usr/sbin/pppd

If it does not run ( wvdial something ) , just replace it with the backup.

I will test more (with different Netbooks, hopefully) and make some trim down ( possible from 600k -> 300k ) before further announcement.
