Not sure what you mean to "verify that your connection is still as stable with chat" but I will restate the problem as follows:
I booted up my up-to-date intrepid system, and connected by selecting "Auto CDMA network connection" from the network manager applet menu. The connection worked but it dropped within about two minutes (and NM popped up a "disconnected" notification bubble). Then I went to a shell window and connected by doing "sudo pon verizon" to start ppp by hand, and that worked too, and I remained connected for at least half an hour of using the net.
This is not just a one-time thing... it is very repeatable and obvious that connecting using NM doesn't stay connected for long, and connecting with "pon" rarely drops unless I go through a dead spot in coverage.
As another data point, I do notice that the connection does seem to be established a little faster with NM than with pon, but I don't have an explanation for that.
