I believe it occurs when I talk to sites with sub-1500 MTUs. I'll test your patch and let you know how it goes, thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
