It appears that with 2.6.20-16 the connection just hangs without anything being printed to syslog or dmesg, and rmmod/modprobe of the the sky2 module is required to get the device working again (I waited over half an hour after ppp/vpn connections stopped working). In 2.6.20-15 it would always printed the "tx timeout" messages within minutes after the connection failed, and automatically reset itself without human intervention.
