hi guys
I have got a Pentium Celeron, 64Mb RAM, IDE Disk, 2 D-LINK FX-530 PCI
Network´s installed with Linux RedHat 7.1 working as a firewall.
I made a new kernel, and now I usually get some messages from the kernel
which repeats a lot of times while the system is working.
The messages are:

Jul 23 09:14:13 datdnn kernel: eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned
multiple buffers, entry 0xe length 0 status 00000600!
Jul 23 09:14:13 datdnn kernel: eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame c37740e0 vs
c37740e0.
Jul 23 09:14:13 datdnn kernel: eth1: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned
multiple buffers, entry 0x2 length 0 status 00000600!
Jul 23 09:14:13 datdnn kernel: eth1: Oversized Ethernet frame c382c020 vs
c382c020.

Jul 23 11:10:24 datdnn kernel: NET: 9 messages suppressed.

Please, I would like to know if this messages means everything bad in terms
of fine function of the system and if so, what I should do to resolve the
problem.
I have the idea that specially when the last messages appear the system lose
communication.
Sometimes I have to power off the system to get it fine again.

Thanks for you possible help.

My best Regards
