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. Connect to any Web site. And you may wait any time you want but site page will never appear in your browser.
Was fixed by Oliver Neukum and will be committed into linux kernel soon.
