Bug#446855: linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64: problem with window scaling, again :(
Package: linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64
Version: 2.6.22-4
Severity: normal
I observe this problem with 2.6.22-amd64, 2.6.20-i386, 2.6.18-amd64, but
not 2.6.15-i386. Try
wget www.copyleft-italia.it
and you should see it hang with the newer kernels after the GET. The
symptoms are similar to those described and explained in
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=267342>, but this may
be a different problem, as 2.6.15 works. As usual, the workaround is
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
as root, and
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0
in /etc/sysctl.conf.
