AmigaOne: Linux-Kernel 2.6.18
Under the title link Gerhard Pircher has published the Linux-Kernel 2.6.18 for AmigaOne-computers. It contains a workaround for network lockups (for the built in ethernet only), where the machine locks up after the first dozen of MBs have been transfered. Unfortunately the network data corruption couldn't be fixed: The update only improves ethernet operation.

Suggestions are very welcome. Installed Mac-on-Linux-moduls of version 2.6.18 should work. (snx) (Translation: dr)
