When downloading big files (say ftp.kernel.org last kernel) the card will begin downloading at fullspeed of my adsl line, but it will start slowing down the speed, down to zero. I can't see this effect on the vanilla 2.6.8.1 kernel, but it seems to happen on both -mm3 & -mm4 that I tested. I'm not using any traffic shaping and I even tried to disable quite a few network features trying to solve it with no good results. I wish I could provide more info than this, but dmesg doesn't seem to show any problems, and I really don't know how to provide more useful data on this. Please let me know if I can help with debugging this or providing more data somehow Unai PS: Sorry for writing to this list being it -mm specific, but the linux-mm list address that I have doesn't seem to work anymore
