	This strange kernel messages are normal or is this clearly something buggy? This is logged whenever the connection 
is stalled.

	Anyway, I'm 50% almost sure that it's something related to ntpd adjusting time. I do not mean that whenever ntpd syncs 
the time, the connection is stalled but I need a few more weeks to assure this.

	Basically without ntpd, everything is fine, but when ntpd is running, the stall happens. Maybe the kernel gets confused when 
ntpd changes the time? It shouldn't happen of course. I'll reply in a few weeks. Thanks.
