Machine - Powerbook G3 (Wallstreet II), 192MB memory, IBM-DYLA-28100 Hard Disk
Kernel - 2.2.15

Problem - Outgoing FTP from the machine causes the hub collision light to flash frantically, throughput drops to the floor (100k/sec max), machine locks solid if much disk activity is going on.

Problem appeared to have disappeared, but has now returned with new kernel.

Workaround - use MOL to ftp the file to virtual machine, then appletalk it across. (I only run macs, so it works)

    If you could, please try this on a newer kernel, such as at least 2.2.18 or 2.4.x and refile a bug report if it's still a problem.

    Thanks!
