Hello,

I'm not sure this is aan security issue, but i could be exploitable...
>From time to time one of my nic's just dies and in /var/log/messages i
have stuff like this:

eth1 is external nic which is connected to adsl router. Both cards are
D-Link DFE-530's. I tried to swap them but no luck, still eth1 (before was
eth0) died. Anyone sends oversized packets to cause this or what? Or maybe
adsl box and nic hate each other?

Rgds,
