Date: Tue, 18 Mar 1997 10:55:12 -0500 Organization: ACC iNet (from ACC Long Distance) Message-ID: <macwhiz-ya023680001803971055120001@news.accinet.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: powerbook.accinet.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Newsreader: Yet Another NewsWatcher 2.3.6 Lines: 21 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:37400 I have a news server running an older snapshot of FreeBSD-2.2. (I know, I should upgrade, but I haven't had the opportunity to have the downtime yet.) In the past, this server has worked without problems. However, lately I've been getting the occasional log message: /kernel: de0: receive: [enet addr] alignment error de0 is a SMC EtherPower 10/100 card in 10baseT mode. Being a news server, it sees a good deal of traffic. What does this error mean, how can I diagnose the cause, and what can be done to remedy it?
