Package: linux-image-2.6-k7
Version: 2.6.21+8
Severity: important
Internet connection stops working after upgrade: dns and ping work,
http, pop3, and imap clients manage to connect but timeout when
waiting for remote data.
I also can't connect to the box with either ssh or web client.
Connection type: pptp via usb cable modem.
Partial workaround: lower MTU of ppp0 from default 1500 to 512 (!).
This reduces download speed by ~40% (compared to 2.6.18 kernel),
but otherwise web access seems functional.
More configuration info:
computer: Compaq Presario 900 laptop (Mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1500+)
cable modem: Thomson DCM245 (handled by usbnet module cdc_ether)
firewall disabled ("iptables --list" shows no chains)
ifconfig and route output is similar on both kernels (ip's removed),
except for error count on eth1:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh
