Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.17
Distribution: debian
Hardware Environment: NVidia nForce2 GF6600 forcedeth driver.
Software Environment: latest debian sid dist-upgrade on 22 june 2006
Problem Description: when I make a many files (about 500 files near 1 Gb of total size, 
*.deb from last and previous upgrade for example ) upload to a server via ssh/scp, my vpn 
pptp connection hangs till i restart ppp connection. This problem persist not only a latest 
kernel. I don't remember when it begin to hangs. It very-very annoying and makes me 
difficult to make my daily job. If I do not make such "heavy" network vpn traffic, I can 
work for a weeks without reboots and any problems

Steps to reproduce:
Start to copy big amount of data over pptp connection from a client linux machine. Ex. via 
ssh/scp.

We thought we'd fixed this :(
