Hello-

My WRT54G starts dropping TCP packets every few minutes on the WAN interface causing HTTP and SSH sessions to freeze for a few seconds until it recovers.

I am running a stock White Russian 5 with qos-wan installed but disabled (I tried both disabled and enabled and the problem persisted).

Also I have another WRT54G peering with WDS but the issue does not seem to be related to this either.

What have I done wrong?

I have ran some tests on the network and it seems to be around a 30% packet loss from WAN.  I will try RC3 tonight as I do not remember having so many issues with that release.

Posting dmesg after ipkg upgrade to see if anyone notices anything obvious.
