8139too module in Linux 2.6.0

[Bryan Ellsaesser]

I upgraded to 2.6.0 kernel on RedHat 9 by updating several rpms and
installing the latest module-init-tools along with a
kernel-2.6.0-1.118.i686.rpm. The new kernel boots fine, but now I can
no longer use any of my web-browsers to surf the net. I can ping and
do nslookups on any sites, so DNS works fine. I suspect there is some
issue with ipv6 setup? Any ideas of things to check. This box has no
firewall setup and web browsing works fine with booting into 2.4.xx
kernels.

Turns out that tcp_ecn was on as that feature was compiled in the new
kernel for ipv4. I echoed 0 to tcp_ecn in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ and
that fixed the problem. Hope this helps someone out there. Good luck

Betcha that's what's been biting me too. Thanks for figuring this out!

I had the same problem so, I tried a new version of Mozilla (1.5) and
I was able to browse the web again.
