Apparently it is somewhat common. However, there weren't any real summaries to show that anyone had a real grip on the cause of the problem. I am basicaly just concerned whether it is a security risk or if it is something I can ignore? I am running 2.2.6-RELEASE, and the card is a Kingston. The kernel messages complain from a variety of ethernet addresses. Is there a patch available? Should I consider a different network interface? Should I ignore these messages? Any help is appreciated, will summarize. Thanks, Britt - Britton Johnson, Ass't System Admin.
