and - you didn't ask - Debian pre-compiled kernel 2.6.12-1-686
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.
It's curious - cuz it only happens during boot, and just the one overrun.
New information on this.
My firewall has been up now for some time - 13 days - and no further
errors/overruns have been reported. Since I'm starting to learn the
"ip" command, I just gave the "statistics" option a try. No overruns
are reported on any of the network interfaces - yet the "ifconfig"
command still shows (1) overrun on the one interface.
Why????!?
