2.6.15-rc5 makes tons of: <NULL>: hw csum failure

From: Martin D. Weinberg
Date: Tue Dec 13 2005 - 17:34:48 EST



1. Kernel errors as follows: <NULL>: hw csum failure, seemingly from the
sk98lin module

2. These appear quite often. The system continues to run. Disconnecting
the cat5 stops the messages. This system is dual homed. The other nic
is an onboard DP83820. This is an IWILL DK8X main board.

5. My previous kernel was 2.6.14 which did not have this bug.

6. Example:
