Product: kernel
Component: kernel
Summary: The RTL8139 (8139too) crashes ADSL modem
Product: kernel
Version: 2.4.22-8mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: kernel
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've a freebox (ADSL modem used in France by Freetelecom) connected to my
computer over ethernet (8139too). 5 to 10 minutes (generally) after the
connection (by dhcp), the modem freezes completely. The only way to make
internet work again is to unplug/replug its power supply (i do nothing on the
computer in itself). This problem didn't happen with Mdk 9.1 (i currently have
9.2 RC2). The weird thing is that i tried with another distribution (Debian
Sid), with a hand-made kernel (2.4.22 marcelo kernel) and it worked. I compiled
the same kernel under Mdk 9.2 RC2 with the same .config and it doesn't work.
Same problem. It makes the modem freeze. I don't know what to think/what to do.
Though it is a big problem as i heavily use ssh when i am away (and i have no
way to restart the modem in this case). Thank you very much for solving this
problem before 9.2 comes out.
