Bug#381902: linux-image-2.6.17-1-powerpc: USB connection to Zaurus using usbnet often freezes on PowerPC

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: linux-image-2.6.17-1-powerpc
Version: 2.6.17-5
Severity: important

I sometimes connect to my Zaurus SL-C860 with a USB connection (using
usbnet) from my PowerBook and the connection often freezes. For instance,
if I type "ssh -t -l zaurus 192.168.129.201 /usr/local/bin/zsh -l", then
"ls /bin/[TAB]" to get the completions, the connection freezes, and I
can't do anything except typing [Return] ~ to close the SSH connection.
This problem doesn't occur when I connect my Zaurus to an x86 machine.

I've attached the log files for my PowerBook (xterm-ppc.log) and the
x86 machine (xterm-x86.log).
