Well I get those same packets with an rtl8139.

But with my fxp cards I get random crashes under high network + disk +
cpu load. And usually my ProCurve crashes at the same time too, this
didn't happen when I was running a Cisco Catalyst (but it reported lots
of CRC errors).

Anyways back to this fxp problem. This doesn't happen with any other
chips than cards running the 82559 chipset. My box that crashes sits as
an internal nameserver between 3 subnets (and it has 3 fxps and is
connected to 3 switches). This crashing didn't occur until i plugged it
into the 3rd subnet and thus put one more fxp to it (this one had a
82559 chips while the other ones had 82557s).

Cheers,

But I get those odd packets with all fxp cards.
