[Bug 40282] Re: scp transfer causes system to freeze

[Ahmed Kamal]

Happens to me too, except that my system doesnt freeze, but raher the networking subsystem becomes totally broken. Here is what happens:

1- I try to scp some tgz file to a server
2- It copies around 2% of the 250MB file (Zimbra collaboration suite)
3- It stops copying
4- I kill scp
5- Now whatever I do (ifconfig, dhclient, knetworkmanager ...) I cannot get back on the network. I get IPs, but I can't reach any other machine!! It was too weird.
6- Finally networking worked, only when I rebooted
7- BTW, I repeated the same situation again before I started doubting dapper and made the scp from Suse10

This seems really critical bug
One last thing my driver is sky2, on a toshiba A105-S361 laptop
