------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-16-09 10:34 ------- Freebox is working fine on my home system with a realtek 8139 card.. BUT Freebox is known to have some problems on some configurations when you are using badly configured P2P software and/or with ethernet autonegociation (well, this one is mainly with 3Com card) . This is a bug in Freebox linux kernel, not in Mdk kernel.. You should try to contact Free staff on proxad.free.adsl newsgroup. More infos on that in unofficial Free FAQ : http://mon.adsl.chez.free.fr/ I think this bug should be closed on WONTFIX.. Movover, Free Telecom now longer exists : it is now called FREE SAS.. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: 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.
