1. One line summary of the problem:

Kernel freezes when doing ADSL communication

2. Full description of the problem/report:

While doing communication through my ADSL modem connected to
ethernet, the kernel suddenly ejects error messages in
/var/log/messages. I can usually go on working for another
minute or so, and after that everything freezes or start to
behave very strangely. It seems to be related only to some
communication programs, e.g. gaim and mplayer seem to trigger
the problem, whereas other, e.g. ssh, can work for hours without
a problem.

do is to do a soft reboot. Any help is extremely appreciated!
