Package: kernel-image-2.4.18-newpmac
Version: 2.4.18-1woody5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

When I run /etc/init.d/networking restart on my system the network dies.
It appears to come up properly - the interface is up and configured, the
routing tables appear proper, etc - but I can't actually get anywhere. I
have tested a few things and discovered that simply running "ifconfig
eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up" causes the same problem, so it appears that
the driver simply doesn't like to be turned back on after being turned
off. I know the settings are proper as I'm able to get networking after
a reboot. As far as I have been able to find rebooting is the only way
to fix the problem once it crops up. This system is a Mac G4 with a
Broadcom integrated gigabit nic. (BCM5400 PHY) I also tried the
2.4.18-powerpc kernel and it had the same failure.
