I have had the same problem too. I am using PPP though but still the
symptons are the same. I am in the process of downloading a file and it
just stalls out and never picks up. I was runnin kernel 2.0.25 but now
I just compiled kernel 2.0.29, but I haven't got a chance to test it
yet. If anyone knows how to fix the problem or knows what is going on
could you please let me know. Thank you!!
