If I disable IPv6 I don't see errors on the ethernet device , I've tried until 1500000 packets without errors . What cause those errors? The only solution is disable IPv6?? I've found this problem on 2.4.22 too (I haven't tried IPv6 on previous kernels) Thanks Marcello - 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/
