I set USERCTL to true so I could do this as a user... any large graphic website causes the hang... also playing MP3's over an NFS connection before the 1 minute mark almost every time... interestingly enough though, I can stream from digitally imported for HOURS.
I noticed some really strange info from the "iwconfig" command when it hangs.. it looks like its trying to use 42.325GHz (I dont think I have permission to be on that frequency) (the number is from memory, it was 42.xxx instead of 2.4xx) .. I dont know if that helps or not, but like someone else said... a quick ifdown eth1;ifup eth1 seems to fix it without even breaking ssh connections.
I can post the output of the iwconfig in here if anyone is interested (once I get home)

"ifconfig" shows nothing amiss, but "fetchmail" times out claiming it can't do a DNS lookup. effectively, all networking grinds to a halt on that interface, and the only fix is to "service network restart".I wonder if also a "service pcmcia restart" would bring it back on line. Oddly I don't do wireless for a "client" pc but rather as a firewall/gateway, three of them currently. The only time I get the pcmcia card to stop working is when I use tcpdump on it when I'm troubleshooting netfilter rule sets or vpn setup's. Rather annoying as the system is usually remotely located. I also agree with the one poster recommending that the firmware is at it's latest rev. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list-- Tommy McNeely -- Tommy.McNeely@Sun.COM Sun Microsystems - IT Ops - Broomfield Campus Support Phone: x50888 / 303-464-4888 -- Fax: 720-566-3168 -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
