After I ifconfig eth0 down to close the interface on my desktop runing 2.6.0-test4-bk8 it froze all my ttys and ptys. I upgraded to bk9 and got the same thing. To repeat the bug one will need two computers and a cross over cable. Connect the two computers, ifconfig the interfaces on each computer. Give them both an ip and then ifconfig up them both. Now to get the bug ifconfig the interface on the computer runing a 2.6 kernel down and hopefully there will be a system freeze. For more information im using a Net Gear fa311 ethernet NIC with the Natsemi ethernet drivers. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
