Users usually worry about this. 1054014: Confirmed that the 4/490 was sending out misaligned frames. A network sniffer will show at the DLC layer that the "bad" packets are misaligned frames. 1052879: Adding and removing Multicast addresses to the ie interface can sometimes generate the above panic. 1095032: 30-July-92 ie driver sometimes xmits a frame twice Patch Installation Instructions: As root: mv /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/ie_conf.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/ie_conf.o.FCS mv /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/if_ie.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/if_ie.o.FCS mv /sys/sunif/ie_conf.c /sys/sunif/ie_conf.c.FCS mv /sys/sunif/if_ievar.h /sys/sunif/if_ievar.h.FCS cp `arch -k`/4.1.3_U1/ie_conf.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ cp `arch -k`/4.1.3_U1/if_ie.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ cp `arch -k`/4.1.3_U1/ie_conf.c /sys/sunif cp `arch -k`/4.1.3_U1/if_ievar.h /sys/sunif A new kernel will need to be built and installed.
