Got a lot (~200 before I rebooted) of these in my log with 2.0.25 on
Sunday...
kernel: eth0: Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers,status 0085c1be!
The status number changes
0071c1ba
7fffceff
00c6c1ba
01c1c1ba
...
These came in bursts of ~10-50 with ~30 seconds between the bursts,
everything worked as far as I could tell though...
The eth0 card is the only network card in the machine and it is a "old
smc8432 (DEC 21040 Tulip)" according to the kernel (with the tulip
driver) and it's connected to the net through the BNC-port (it's a
combo card).
I don't know if this is a hardware failure, something strange
happening on the LAN or a driver bug, I just thought that I'd let you
know...
