NETWORK broken at least for 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.9-rc1

[Paulo da Silva]

Hi:

For almost all sites I cannot download using wget or ftp for example.
I can comunicate between two PCs using ssh and rsync however.
ping and traceroute also work fine.
I discovered this problem because I was unable to fetch any
file when using "emerge -f".
I tried with k 2.6.7 with exactly the same configuration and it works!

I am using gentoo in a laptop Compaq presario 2541EA.
The module is natsemi.c. I tried to copy this file from 2.6.7 into
2.6.9-rc1 and recompile the kernel without any success.
The problem still remains.
If any further information is need, pls. email me.
Thank you.

It stops forever here!!!

For very few sites (cnn.com for example) it works:
# wget www.cnn.com
--00:10:12--  http://www.cnn.com/
         => `index.html'
