One of them occurred directly after opening a new connection through the browser. All three freezes happened with em0 down and unconnected, iwi0 in use and with Tor and a background ping running. I run cvsup before applying the patch, so this may be an unrelated problem that crept in with the update. I'm currently compiling the kernel with vanilla CURRENT from 2009-06-21 to see if the freezes go away. Fabian
