its the same in 2.6.37. seems it's nothing to do with gentoo kernel, it seems to be upstream bug (same in vanilla). i see it for my DUB-E100 dlink usb2.0 100Mb/s card (ASIX AX88772). this works for me although I have no idea if its correct for this type of NIC: - default MTU for the card seems to be 576, same here in .37 and same in .34 where there where no errors etc. - ethernet standard is 1500, so it's how I set my card: ifconfig ethX mtu 1500 (or you can put it in your /etc/conf.d/net - no errors under ifconfig, seems to work for some time - i will update later if sth breaks again. if somebody would have anything to add here/correct then it would be nice. also i guess it would be good to open bug for kernel devs... oh, well - it was annoying enough, so there you go: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30952 it contains a link to a proper workaround as well. |
