Perfectly possible, but how can we find out? I've already asked for help on #debian-kernel and -devel with no success. > When did this problem occur? It happens seldom on normal traffic but quite reproducible on several machines when downloading large files. It happens not on every attempt, but often enough to quickly reproduce it. > Have it worked in the past? I don't know, I've started using pptp a few weeks ago. > What kernel version do you use? >> Architecture: amd64 >> Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 It is the current amd64 kernel from Etch. > What kernel modules do you have loaded? The output of lsmod is attached. I'm sorry for my rather vague bugreport, I've already tried to gather some useful information via strace but it doesn't show any interesting hints. The only relevant stuff I could find was in the syslog right before the freeze. Cheers, Bastian -- Bastian Venthur http://venthur.de Debian Developer venthur at debian org
