Comment 10 for bug 272896

i think this bug can be closed
in fact i've downloaded from kernel.org the 2.6.26 source, patched it with the 2.6.27-rc8 prepatch, launched make oldconfig once accepting the default answers it proposed and a second time saying "no" to all of them.
i compiled and got two deb packages of the kernel, in both cases i've got the same results as with the linux-image in ubuntu repositories.
furthermore, since i have debian lenny in another partition in the same machine, i repeated the same procedures there as well, with the same negative results i get with intrepid.
moreover i've tried intrepid livecd on another machine in my home lan and even there i could not navigate nor update.
if i run iptraf in my home server i can see that udp requests to the dns servers from the machine where intrepid is installed receive answers (this is the reason why "host" and "ping" work, i think) while in the case of tcp connections the syn packet goes through but it does not receive ack.
i think i'll file a bug with kernel.org

thanks
