Hi, 
I'm getting some strange messages from my ethernet board:
ed0: length does not match next packet pointer
ed0: len 05ee nlen 07ee start 0c first 39 curr 0d next 0d stop 40
ed0: length does not match next packet pointer
ed0: len 05ee nlen 07ee start 0c first 19 curr 21 next 21 stop 40
ed0: length does not match next packet pointer
ed0: len 05ee nlen 07ee start 0c first 0f curr 17 next 17 stop 40
[...]

This occurs during file transferts. The box is a 486dx2 with an IDE disk
running 1.3alpha. The board is probed as:
ed0 at isa0 port 0x280-0x29f iomem 0xd0000-0xd3fff irq 9
ed0: address 00:80:ad:03:2d:7b, type WD8013EBT (16-bit)

I never saw these messages while it was running 1.2.

What do these messages mean ? The file tranfer complete without problems,
but perhaps with reduced perfs (I didn't do any measure). The box on the
other end is a cyrix p166+ with SCSI disk and the same board, running a
kernel from the same sources.
