Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.17 Distribution: debian Hardware Environment: NVidia nForce2 GF6600 forcedeth driver. Software Environment: latest debian sid dist-upgrade on 22 june 2006 Problem Description: when I make a many files (about 500 files near 1 Gb of total size, *.deb from last and previous upgrade for example ) upload to a server via ssh/scp, my vpn pptp connection hangs till i restart ppp connection. This problem persist not only a latest kernel. I don't remember when it begin to hangs. It very-very annoying and makes me difficult to make my daily job. If I do not make such "heavy" network vpn traffic, I can work for a weeks without reboots and any problems Steps to reproduce: Start to copy big amount of data over pptp connection from a client linux machine. Ex. via ssh/scp.
In the kernel 2.6.17 this bug still persist.

No. As i know, it still here... :( I some times test it again in new kernel releases, new pppd releases in debian... Always the same. :((
could be this also be realtionated with my bug 6747? http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6747
I don't know... I can not test it because I have no such hardware...
My eth0 device works fine when pptp client connection hanged. So I think it's not a hardware/forcedeth problem.
1 more thing... Problem seems to happen when send a many files as I described. When I recieve a much more, then all ok.
And me again. Today it happened at the very beginning when I have a high CPU load. (kdevelop snapshot compile). My cpu/ram if it will help you: Athlon 2000 / 768Mb RAM
Hi all again. Now I see no hangs of pptp connection. Kernel 2.6.18.1 Thanx :) You may close this bug...
