I have 3.3-STABLE (as of, oh, a month ago) installed on my gateway
machine.  It has two ethernet cards in it and ipfw & bridging enabled on
them.

I get these strange messages in my dmesg (they come in bunches):

-- m_len 46, need more...
-- m_len 46, need more...
-- m_len 46, need more...
.. etc

what could these mean?  I have never seen these messages before I
installed this machine.  The ethernet cards are:

ed1: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> rev 0x00 i nt a irq 11 on
pci0.8.0 
ed1: address 52:54:00:e7:ad:1f, type NE2000 (16 bit) 

fxp0: <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 0x08 int a irq 10 on
pci0.9.0
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:90:27:76:20:92

I'm assuming i'm getting smaller-than-allowed ethernet datagrams?  Or am I
off-base here?

any ideas?
