Re: System freezes when browsing soon after dialout

Hi,

with the description of the problem, I doubt that it is an application 
problem, it's likely a problem with either the kernel or a driver.

It is possible that it is a modulation specific stability issue in the 
HSF driver and simply installing a valid license might cure the problem 
as another modulation is likely to be used.
