No idea yet - but I'm not all the familiar with device drivers, etc, yet.

I do know that the airport_tx method stops getting called when the lock-up
occurs.  Why it doesn't get called I don't know.

Regards,

Chris

Hi,
I don't have an Airport but am familiar with
programming linux network device drivers.

This symtom sounds like a it could be a classic tbusy
(transmit busy ) getting  stuck on in the driver in
the network device structure.

Actually - I don't think this is the problem, since it only locks up the send
_for the single TCP connection_.  Other TCP connections, or new ones, work
fine.

It is interesting that I only ever get the problem when accessing distant
systems (where the link is slower and less reliable) - and then it happens
very consistantly.
