Light network usage after "Suspend to RAM" also does not trigger the problem. This problem is 100% reproducable e.g. with "bonnie -s 2048" on an mounted nfs share (the problem only starts at the start of bonnies "rewriting" test) or when the laptop takes part on a bigger "icecream" compile. If the load decreases (e.g. ^C of bonnie) the interface recovers after some time and is usable with light network load (e.g. ssh). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
