OK, after all this mess, I skimmed through the 2.6.25 changelogs looking for possible deadlock fixes.

The first commit that seems to be conistent with my own experience is:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=b000cd3707e7b25d76745f9c0e261c23d21fa578

This is a problem in certain unusual states of the TCP/IP-stack. Since many users experience the deadlock with wireless and/or dialup connections, this might be the right one to look at, since sequence holes are something that might typically occur on such connections.

Can a developer please tell me, whether this patch is already applied to 2.6.24-19 ? If no, would it be possible to provide a testing kernl with this patch applied?

  TIA,
