| |
Hi,
I am running kernel 2.2.17 and my logs are littered with:
"protocol fe11 is buggy, dev eth0." I managed to locate where in the source code this line gets printed. However I can't say much more then that.
Any ideas if this has been fixed? Please cc to my address since I am not on the list.
Justin.
This msg comes from the kernel (as syslog mentions), more precisely from $(LK_SRC_ROOT)/net/core/dev.c (usually $(LK_SRC_ROOT)=/usr/src/linux) :
/* More sensible variant. skb->nh should be correctly set by sender, so that the second statement is just protection against buggy protocols. */ skb2->mac.raw = skb2->data;
if (skb2->nh.raw < skb2->data || skb2->nh.raw >= skb2->tail) { if (net_ratelimit()) printk(KERN_DEBUG "protocol %04x is buggy, dev %s\n", skb2->protocol, dev->name); skb2->nh.raw = skb2->data; if (dev->hard_header) skb2->nh.raw += dev->hard_header_len; }
