download halts with buffer full after updates with zypper patch and zypper up Feb 12th 2013, 16:28 12.2/64 & KDE, Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 I recently ran Code: zypper patch followed by Code: zypper up . I then updated KDE from 4.9.5 to 4.10 in Yast On this Lenovo P580 the downloading process in Yast2 was a nightmare. All the small files came down very fast, however any file of over 2Mb would cause the connnection to rapidly slow to a halt. When I restarted the network Code: # rcnetwork restart and resumed the download I saw it resume at over 500KBs, then rapidly slow to as low as 5Bs, then stop altogether. I also ran a ping test on a terminal during the download, and I saw the ping times gradually slow from 55+ms to over 9000ms. Then the connection would fail with an error message indicating that the buffer was full. The time from restart to failure varied from under a minute to almost three minutes. Each time I ran Code: # rcnetwork restart and then clicked retry in Yast2 the process would repeat until the buffer was full again, anywhere from one to three nimutes later. (I eventually completed the download but it took over two hours, and I had to restart the network over 50 times.) Note: No other PCs connected to the same router were affected when this happened, so I don't suspect that it was the router's buffer that was full, and I'd previously done the same things on another PC with no ill effects, and this PC was running great until the patches & upgrades. I suspect that either a patch or an upgrade had changed the network card driver. Does this sound like a reasonable assumption? I did note that there was an update to the kernel in the patches. Any suggestions how I could resolve this? I'd like to file a bug report too, but I'm not sure with whom.
