Maybe the hang I notice is different because it stays with this patch and appears primarily after using multiple connections. An easy way to reproduce it here is this axel -n 40 http://..file (a downloader that opens 40 connections) it will go on downloading normally without problem. If I ctrl-c that process and immediately re-run it, it will not start again (or any other internet connection). rmmod, modprobe and reconfiguring the iface brings it back to normal. I haven't checked if all those 40 connections are opened or at some point it doesn't open more than 10 or sth. Let me know if I can help somehow further. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
