Dear list, it would be nice, if you could check something and maybe confirm or deny it. My system is debian/stable. As now the new kernel version is released, which is 5.10.0-9-amd64, I updated from 0-8-amd64 to 0-9-amd64. But, with this kernel I discovered, that the network traffic massively increased. I am not sure, what is causing this. Examining with wiresharḱ and also the syslog file, it looks like it has something to do with ntp. Also the broadcast messages are more than normal. As I said, I am not sure, what is going on, and can also not confirm, if it is an unlucky hardware of my system (amd-cpu, Nvidia graphics card and Atheros wireless card), or a kernel issue. With kernel 5.10.0-8-amd64 everything is ok. It was just by chance that I discovered this, because my network state led for the wireless card is only blinking, when there is traffic. In normal it is mostly dark, but with the latest kernel it is permanently flashing, telling, there is a lot of traffic. Before I file a bugreport, I hope, this could be confirmed by others. Thank you for reading this. Best regards Hans P.S. At the moment I am still with the old kernel, as I do not know, which data are send from my system (I wanna be secure!)
