The crash problem does not happen with a single connection, but with concurrent connections. Try to do some "real life patterns" like web browsing, or a "reload all tabs" with lots of tabs in a firefox though the NAT, and tell us if you can reproduce the problem.


I'm just a bit worried about the custom kernel, the device restarted twice at the very first boot, and currently I can read an opses in dmesg:
I've got exactly the same problem since since I've built a custom kernel with framebuffer (more than one month ago), and i've seen no side effects except some restarts on boot like you described. But I agree it should be looked into.

I can confirm my reboot problem is caused by kernel "oopses", but i was trying to read them on the small framebuffer before Matan explained how to get them

I'll try to reproduce the problem tonight and post some oops log.
(my current /dev/mtd2 content does not match the last oops I had, so i'm not posting it now)
