>
> Hi all. I have a question that hopefully someone can answer.
>
> I recently upgraded my Debian system (a Dell Optiplex GX270) from a
> 2.6.16.11 kernel to a 2.6.30.5 one (current stable). My networking
> is now misbehaving.
>
> POP, IMAP, and NNTP connect ok (multiple packets each way, viewed
> using a logging proxy) but as soon as a message should start coming
> down, the connection hangs and then times out. I think it's the
> first large packet that causes this, and I saw that the linux-net
> team have been working on some features to increase throughput
> through read aggregation or something... I think it's broken (on my
> hardware at least).
>
> My kernel .config file and the output of "lspci" are included below.
