I have 2 NICs in my machine, both intel etherexpress pro:
Try setting an mtu of 1450 or so. You can add that to the ifconfig lines
in /etc/rc.conf, or run "ifconfig fxp0 mtu 1400" directly.
I've tried to do that, but the fxp cards do not seem to allow
modifying the mtu settings. It does have the capability of modifying
the vlanmtu, but I don't know if this will affect/help this issue.
Isn't this message being generated when the router sends a packet
that exceeds fxp0's MTU, so... the solution is to tune the router's
MTU, rather than fxp0? I am admittedly just guessing, but
intuitively that seems right.
