A little update on the network issue I keep running into with the
model: it turns out the internal clock is not always updating properly
so that the timestamps on network packets can get set just slightly
wrong enough sometimes that the connection will hang or disconnect
down at the socket level. The net result is that distcc will now
and then lose the connection to the host OS doing cross-compiles.
Last I heard, this is something being looked into by ARM.
I am having a similar issue with the raspi. Trying to compile the kernel via a long ssh
session.
It will disconnect, and sometimes even grab a different IP# usually after a number of
hours.
I thought it might be a dhcp lease renew issue or a usb/ethernet adapter issue as you
might suspect a different mac address too, but ntp maybe doing an update and causing the
freeze. If i do an ntpdate with a newer time, it will set off the screen lock because it
thinks you were idle that whole time.
