A former kernel (2.6.19) as well as the alternative windows installation do not show any uncommon behavior. Problem description: Directly after starting the device, the internet connection is stable. >From time to time however the connection for at least the http based protocol as well as the protocol used for mail stops working. None of the available log-files produce any additional output during off-time.
