I've heard of a couple of NIC's that use/create strange size packets, but I don't remember which ones did that. > here is my setup > > ip addr show > > # ip addr show > 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue > link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 > inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo > 2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop > link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 > link/ether 00:80:c7:62:2a:8e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 > link/ether 00:50:ba:8d:18:3d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > inet 194.124.158.99/24 brd 194.124.158.255 scope global eth1 Having a 100M link on the WAN is incrediably unusual, it doesn't sound as if the NIC is auto-negotiating back down to 10M half-duplex link.
