Comment 43 for bug 735171

Hmph. Actually, it died as well with 2.6.38-10. It just lasted for a surprisingly long time. (Something like 24 hours). This time around it actually disconnected and wouldn't reconnect, though. I have seen that before recently, but it's a little different from what I usually get here (and what the reporter describes) where Network Manager says there is a connection but nothing actually gets through.

It seems that running a torrent client is a sure way to trigger this collapse.
