How longer i read the different links about the problem it looks that the kernel 2.6.17 series and the statement that the distribution has to fix bugs instead of the kernel team, a step "back" to the stable 2.6.16 kernel from Adrian Bunk seems worth to think about it. Are there any big disadvantages with udev or something else under arch which makes this impossible or too complicated?

So there is no a simple method around. But okay i have to live with it and will try to remind that if i can't browse to a site but can ping it in this case Wireshark will be my last hope ... nice motivation to learn more about the application and what is behind.-) See you, Attila _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
