I just upgraded to hardy and noticed this (or a related) problem on a laptop where I didn't have this problem before on gutsy. I haven't seen a crash yet, but when I transfer a large file (using rsync or scp) to the machine, the network stops functioning (can't browse anymore, ping, etc). In case of ping I've also noticed pings with a huge latency. The large file transfer does continue but blocks all network traffic. As soon as I stop the large file transfer or when it completes, the network seems to behave normally.
lspci says this about my network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) -- Heavy network activity (eg: torrent/nfs file transfers) causes Hard System Locks and/or Network Freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147464 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
