I don't believe that the only source of our problem is the 3com ethernet card because most of all patches are downloaded and installed properly.
My theory is that some rare bit pattern in the data triggers this bug, which is approaching its anniversary :-(. I know the idea sounds bizarre (why should the driver care about the data), but I think I have seen the bug bite in other net usage as well: sometimes (rarely, and I cannot point to an example) large images or Flashes hang, unless I have done the modprobe hack described in prior comments. So I nowadays do it always by hand. For whatever reason I cannot automate it in RCs, it has to be done after the system has "settled" (possibly I have been doing some total loser's mistake in my attempts at automation). -- 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.
