Kernel version is 2.2.15 (soon to be 2.2.16), but the version included
there (v1.01) has the same problems. I'll try to get the other versions
and give those a try.

Thanx, that explains a lot.

OK, here are a few:
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x6db67b
length 0 status 0600!
^- ?
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame c2fcc8b0 vs c2fcc8b0.
and then immediately after that:
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x6db67c
length 78 status 8d00!
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame c2fcc8c0 vs c2fcc8c0.
As far as I can see every message with status 0600 is immediately followed
by one with status 8d00. Those with status 0600 alway have length 0
Occasionally a 0400 creeps between a 0600 and 8d00
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x89b8d6
length 0 status 0600!
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame c2fcc860 vs c2fcc860.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x89b8d7
length 0 status 0400!
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame c2fcc870 vs c2fcc870.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x89b8d8
length 1282 status 8d00!
The 0400 packets also always have a length of 0.
Here's a 0d09 between a 0600 and a 8d00:
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x97bad9
length 0 status 0600!
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x97bada
length 1282 status 0d09!
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x97bbad
length 186 status 8d00!
And here's an example of a 9500:
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x97e31b
length 0 status 0600!
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame c2fcc8b0 vs c2fcc8b0.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, entry 0x97e31c
length 114 status 9500!
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame c2fcc8c0 vs c2fcc8c0.

Very unlikely. I've got a ntop sniffing on the same physical net on
another machine, but it doesn't report any oversized packets and other
machines on the same net, don't complain either.
