Hi Larry, hi all,

it is some time that I didn't post, but here I want to come back to
this item.

That seems to be gone with current kernels 3.8.0-rc3

I have had the hanging issue today again, but this time it showed 
a very interesting rythm, that might help to understand.
Pinging my router I normally have about ~1ms response time.
When it hanged (and this is now several thousand seconds long test)
the hang times are *always very close:
	4sec
	3sec
	2sec
	1sec
is one block. This block might repeat a few times, or only once, but it
is always in this rythm:

In addition, the responses for these blocks come *together*,
not after 4sec the first, then after 3 sec the next. No.
It is wait 10 sec, bammmm, all 4, wait 10secs, bam all 4.

Does that ring *any* bell*
