iMac G3 IPv6 issue

[Aurélien GÉRÔME]

Hi there,

Since it is kernel related, I think it is the best place to ask.

I installed Debian Sid on a BlueBerry iMac G3.

[20:51:54|3|root@arwen:~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo

[20:54:17|3|root@arwen:~]# uname -a
Linux arwen 2.6.8.1 #1 Sat Aug 21 15:46:55 CEST 2004 ppc GNU/Linux

I put IPv6 support, but the console is flooded by a lot of:

printk: 16 messages suppressed.
hw tcp v6 csum failed
printk: 11 messages suppressed.
hw tcp v6 csum failed
printk: 5 messages suppressed.
hw tcp v6 csum failed
printk: 5 messages suppressed.
hw tcp v6 csum failed
printk: 5 messages suppressed.
hw tcp v6 csum failed
printk: 5 messages suppressed.
hw tcp v6 csum failed
printk: 7 messages suppressed.
hw tcp v6 csum failed

However, IPv6 works, and IPv4 packets do not have this kind of issue.

The network card is a Sun Gem. It is kind of weird to see bad packets.

Attached is my /proc/config.gz.

Is anyone aware of this issue?

Bests.

BOFH excuse #423: It's not RFC-822 compliant.
