Arrrghhh HELP!!!
  In the last hour I've been getting the following uncontrollable repeated
message flooded on the displayed text VT (even when there isn't a user logged
into it)

eth0: bogus packet: status=0x20 nxpg=0x?? size=1518

  The message appears every time an Ethernet packet comes past my machine and
it's taking up a LOT of CPU time.
  I think it might be a kernel or module problem since there isn't any process
running that I can kill that will stop the messages. Even killing inetd doesn't
work.
  Network functionality seems to be OK but slower than normal.

  I tried a reboot but the messages started flooding in before I could log in. 
I had to physically disconnect the Ethernet cable to stop it.

  Has anyone else had this problem? I don't even know the cause. I didn't 
change anything that I'm aware of to cause this behavior.

  System:
i586 board
RH 5.2 - kernel 2.0.36 (Apollo)
Ethercard = WD8003 (16 bit ISA) autodetected OK

TIA

Rich
