Gp@x Freezes When Disconnect From Network

[bullwood]

I got a bad USB cable with my GP2X (seems to be somewhat common). With a new cable, had no problems setting up networking, but when I unplug the USB, my GP2X freezes completely.

What I'm trying to do is load web pages (Opera in Qtopia), then unplug and read offline. So far I've tried the following:

1 - Telnet into GP2X from host computer and type "ifconfig usb0 down" (GP2X freezes immediately ...)

2 - Telnet into GP2X from host computer and type "/etc/init.d/network stop" (No effect... tries to kill eth0)

3 - Telnet into GP2X from host computer and type "/usr/gp2x/usbdisconnect.sh" (no effect ... device or resource busy)

With options 2 & 3 GP2X still freezes when unplugged. Has anyone else had this problem and how do you do it?
(Any suggestions welcome!)

I've have it, but I never managed to find a solution.

Type 'ps'. Killall anything to do with 'telnet', 'inet', 'http', 'smb'/'samba' and 'ftp'.

Then unplug, and see what happens.

No luck (didn't work, still freezes, killed processes with GP2X Sterm (local))
