SubjectRe: 2.2.1 and Tulip weirdness
I have a similar problem, although my interface works, file transfers thru
ftp freeze at certain point...not in the same spot all the time...but for
example when i try to upload a 30mb file to my linux box the transfer
would just freeze at 15mb, at the same time my ssh connection isnt
responding and theres nothing in logs indicating that theres a problem
with eth0. Before installing kernel 2.2.2 i was running 2.0.36 and
everything was working fine. I also recompiled the ftpd client...i
installed newest wu-ftpd but it wouldnt fix the problem...any suggestions?
