Hi,

 There's a big problem on a router with a proxim's symphony wireless card.
 This problem was discussed on rl2-library@komacke.com list and it involves
 all of the users having symphony cards. So, the problem is with
 ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp modules. When one of the users tries to
 make an active ftp session, router doing nat hangs completely. The most
 interesting thing is that it doesn't metter if an interface doing SNAT is
 the one with the symphony card or with simple NIC. It still hangs pc. This
 is urgent problem only with the 2.4 versions of linux kernel. With ipchains
 and ip_masq_ftp there was no problem.

 Is there any way I can help you with finding the real problem and solution?
 Btw, symphony drivers (rlmod.o) are not open source, I guess that can make
 some problems
