Bug#422675: sis900: tons of corrupted packets are reported
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1
Severity: normal
While tracking down some rsync trouble I found this error/waring
message appears 4-5 times every second:
May 6 06:28:28 vargas kernel: eth0: Corrupted packet received, buffer status = 0x908401b8/440.
May 6 06:28:28 vargas kernel: eth0: Corrupted packet received, buffer status = 0x90880187/391.
May 6 06:28:28 vargas kernel: eth0: Corrupted packet received, buffer status = 0x90840143/323.
May 6 06:28:28 vargas kernel: eth0: Corrupted packet received, buffer status = 0x90880134/308.
May 6 06:28:28 vargas kernel: eth0: Corrupted packet received, buffer status = 0x9084019e/414.
As you see the numbers at the end vary, but I see no close relation to
the amount of traffic trough the interface. If it is related to my
network problem isn't sure yet, but it creates 18MB of logfile a day.
I had no such messages with it previous kernel version (before the
latest security update).
The NIC is reported to be a
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 90)
the mii module is loaded aswell.
