Browser download hangs

[Jesper Nordenberg]

I'm running Android on a Beagle Board and it seems browser downloads
just hangs with a "Waiting for data connection..." message. I've
mounted an SD card in the /sdcard folder. I've tried downloading
different file types (.apk and .zip) with the same problem.

Anyone seen this problem or know what causes it?

The download manager follows the state of connectivity quite closely
(more so than most apps), so if there's an issue in the way
connectivity is reported to apps, the download manager tends to be the
first one to show symptoms.

Check isNetworkAvailable() at
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/providers/DownloadProvider.git;a=blob;f=src/com/android/providers/downloads/Helpers.java;h=d8f262c782b6f3d870574a00b270ebd8b180c0d9;hb=HEAD#l468

I use an ethernet cable and USB adapter as connection to the Internet,
so there's no modem involved. Can that be the cause of the problem?

If the connectivity manager stays unmodified and only tracks
connections over cell and wifi, yeah, that'd explain.

Thanks, a small patch of Helpers.java worked fine :)
