I've seen something similar [1] happen to a LAN with one Windows XP machine running vcool: http://vcool.occludo.net/ . This is also available for Linux (http://vcool.occludo.net/VC_Linux.html). Are you running this patch or a similar one?
[1] all machines were seeing frame errors on packets > 250 bytes; it was a 10 mbit coax lan. -- Erik Hensema <erik@hensema.net> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
