Hi, I found my machine with a freezed desktop tomorrow morning. I don't use anything UDP specific, just a lot of TCP traffic. I the machine is a Mac mini Core Duo running 2.6.20-rc6 without special mactel-linux.org patches except for the IR remote driver. The kernel log looks similar. I don't use MSI. However, I don't get this several times a day. IIRC this was the first time that I saw this. Regards, Tino
