network partially stops working after some time
I have a strange problem where my wireless network stops working with some
sites, speciffically on of the local debian mirrors and my smtp server after
some time of work and won't connect again until a reboot. Wireless is an
atheros AR5414 based card in a thinkpad t61. I tried unloading and reloading
both the ath5k and e1000e modules (this is a custom kernel 2.6.30.6 by the wau.
Other sites seem to keep on working well. I used to have a problem with the mtu
dropping at some point but it doesn't seem to be the issue any more (at least
explicitly)
I'd be happy for any ideas to investigate or preferably solve the problem.
If it helps, the output for ifconfig for the interface shows:
