Package: linux-2.6 Severity: normal Tags: etch, sid
Hi guys, I have a K6-II computer using an analog modem connected to the legacy serial port. I am experiencing the following regression with the kernel 2.6 series: After having dialed into the host, * either the negotiation does not really work (no response from the other side in my log files) and pppd terminated * or the connection is set up and after a short while stops to function yet pppd does not terminate by itself: For example the first web page is displayed correctly (not from cache!) and then the second or third fails. I tried several debian kernels (486er variant): some 2.6.16 version, the 2.6.18 from etch and the current 2.6.21 from unstable. The behaviour is always the same - maybe even worse in the 2.6.16 version. I also tried an analog modem connected to the USB port. The problem is there as well. A have never had problems with the 2.4 kernel series - booting into etch with the 2.4 kernel (k6 variant) from sarge solves the problem. Dial in works and connection remains stable. Any suggestions how to track down the problem?
