R. Foley reported. The symptoms are that Evolution often fails to download mail with various errors like "Interrupted system call", "Connection reset by peer". I can't rule out a bug in Evolution, but this did not seem to happen with 2.6.8.1. These problems could also be related to the changes to the via-rhine driver. ISTR that when the VP patches were based on 2.6.8.1, I applied the patches from -mm4 affecting via-rhine, and that was when the problem was introduced. I will try backing these out and see if the problem goes away. Lee
