Bug#541169: linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64 : sis190 driver doesn't work with Ethernet Adpator

[Pierre Meurisse <pierre.meurisse@laposte.net>]

Hello,

I had some difficulties to find a 2.6.31.
The wiki gives the address :
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel

but the server seems to be down.

After a lot of googling, I found 
linux-image-2.6.31-4-rt_2.6.31-4.4_amd64.deb
at
http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linux-rt/?C=S;O=A

Is there another server for experimental kernel ?

I installed the upper one with dpkg -i, and I could ping my dhcp server :-)

I connected to the server through ssh too.

It worked all right, but I had a system freeze after a few minutes (5-10).

I'll experiment further and let you know.

Thank you for your messages.
