Hi Peter, In _my_ case I compiled the EMU10K straight into the kernel. dmesg shows it's found. The funny thing is that a second machine with an es1371 board alos fails with 2.2.18. 2.2.17 is ok. Taking that .config and 'make oldconfig' produces a kernel that doesnt allow the emu10k to work. (as

It seems that a bad bug (in the netfilter code?) was exposed by the changes from 2.4.0-t11 to t12. If a box has the ip_tables and ip_conntrack modules loaded, sending it a single fragmented IP packet (e.g. with "ping -s 65000") is enough to immediately freeze it. It does not respond to
