Description Cyrill Gorcunov 2006-06-04 02:05:10 UTC

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:2.6.15
Distribution:vanilla
Hardware Environment:Acer Aspire 5020
Software Environment:Gentoo Linux 2005.1
Problem Description:Since the linux-2.6.16 I became unable to work with HTTP and
FTP Internet protocols. I used Ethereal to capture the packets and found that
after GET / HTTP/1.1 the packets from any host I connected to had not came to
me. But when I used linux-2.6.15 all works ok. I use Zyxel OMNI external USB
modem. I tried to use even linux-2.6.16.18 but the problem still present.

Steps to reproduce: Just build linux-2.6.16 with USB ACM bultin into the kernel.
