router running Debian: Oversized Ethernet frame

["H.S." <hs.samix@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have an old machine running Debian Testing and working as a router
with 2.6.26-2-686 kernel. Runs iptables firewall, has two lan cards and
a wireless card for nat.

Earlier today it was not responding, just hanged. In the logs I noticed
these lines which I have never seen before:
Apr 29 07:22:31 router kernel: [1280585.489463] eth1: Oversized Ethernet
frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x21 length 0 status 00000600!
Apr 29 07:22:31 router kernel: [1280585.489496] eth1: Oversized Ethernet
frame d7dca210 vs d7dca210.
Apr 29 07:22:31 router kernel: [1280585.489512] eth1: Oversized Ethernet
frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x22 length 0 status 00000400!
Apr 29 07:22:31 router kernel: [1280585.489528] eth1: Oversized Ethernet
frame d7dca220 vs d7dca220.
Apr 29 07:22:31 router kernel: [1280585.489542] eth1: Oversized Ethernet
frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x23 length 1464 status 05b88d0
0!
Apr 29 07:22:31 router kernel: [1280585.489558] eth1: Oversized Ethernet
frame d7dca230 vs d7dca230.


After this it appears that the ppp0 connection (dsl) stopped working as
did my home lan.

Anybody what this means and if I need to worry about this?

Thanks.
