[Bug 212525] New: new network card, rtl8169, sends invalid packets?
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=212525 Summary: new network card, rtl8169, sends invalid packets? Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa@suse.de In my very stable home networking environment, I just upgraded to gigabit ethernet. I acquired a gig-e switch, and two gig-e network cards. One of the cards is a VIA velocity and the other is a realtek RTL8169. The 'server' has the VIA velocity. I have begun noticing in the /var/log/messages file the message: Oct 15 19:38:39 turnip kernel: martian destination 127.0.0.1 from 192.168.2.10, dev eth1 which usually repeats a number of times. 192.168.2.10 is the 'client', eth1 is the via velocity. Why is this happening and is it a sign of improper initialization in the network card driver for the rtl8169, or is the via velocity at fault? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

You can run tcpdump on the client to see whether it is indeed sending out these packets and then analyze why. But, it isn't a kernel bug, please ask on the opensuse lists for support instead. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I set the card up with yast2, and the setup is *exactly* the same as with my 100 Mbit card (except, of course, using the 1000Mbit card). Everything works perfectly fine (I get up to 650 MBit/s throughput) *except* for the occasional message you see above. The most logical assumption is that the driver for the card has a small bug in it, causing it to send out frames like the above. I can try to capture some frames from it doing that if it will help, but since the driver is part of the kernel that makes it a kernel bug, no? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
