Maybe if you posted some info about when this happens and how to reproduce, someone could even assign the bug. I use wireshark for that. First I established DSL connection. Then I started wireshark and selected interface ppp0 respectively eth0 and started the capture. Then I waited some time - usually after some minutes a computer somewhere tries to send such a f* packet to my computer. It depends only at the daytime how long I have to wait. I'm not sure whether the behaviour has something to do with Gentoo Linux or if it is general problem with the vanilla kernel and e1000. But before I bother the kernel people again with e1000 problems (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7207) I try it here. Here are my hardware: tfoerste@n22 ~ $ /usr/sbin/lspci | grep -i eth 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Mobile) (rev 03) 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) Hmm, sending to kernel folks then. Hhm, seems to depend on whether I use pppoe-start or net.ppp0 to establish the DSL connection. Seems not to be Gentoo specific I suspect. |
