SubjectRE: network interface still stops after 20 days 7 hours in 2.2.1
I have noticed this type of problem on my firewall box, which runs 2.2.12. I
just scheduled a cron job to reset the interfaces every night (DSL line with
DHCP). I never bothered to keep track of how often it happens- it seemed to be
less than 20 days, but not as frequently as daily.
