Which 3com model exactly? (lspci output, please). That said, once-every-year errors like these are not worth bothering with. Maybe something stalled your kernel and the buffer overloaded for that packet. I got a lot of overrun errors (plus frame errors) in a machine that has five 3c905B. Before kernel 2.6.11, I would get a ton of "too much work on interrupt" errors as well. This is the reason why I prefer the 3c905CX (slightly better behaviour) and Intel e1000 (I never managed to cause it to drop packets)... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
