[solved] ALICE ADSL configuration

This is mainly for Italian Arch users:
I just managed to get the Adsl connection woking properly with my ALICE ADSL GATE 2 modem, so I hope to help someone with this post.
With this modem, you usually can download only some 100kbyte from each page and then you lose the connection.
The solution is quite simple: just type
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
if this solves everything, just add the line
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0
to your /etc/sysctl.conf, in order to keep this configuration after reboot
hope it helps.
