I use at home an DSL connection (stable Gentoo system), current kernel is 2.6.22-gentoo-r5.
I attached 2 pcap files with the communication of the KDE program kscd with the CDDB server freedb.org, sniffed from interface ppp0 and eth0 respectively. The sniffed network stream over the ppp0 interface looks _always_ fine whereas the sniffed packets from the eth0 always looks bad :-( I don't undestand why the ppp0 stream is ok, whereas the eth0 stream has always a malformed package (eg #13 in kscd_eth0.pcap) which contains the content of the CD. And I'm really confused about the fact, that within a LAN I did not have a malformed packet. I discussed it here http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users/200707/msg00187.html and here http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8793 and many different places in the past but w/o success. Any explanation are appreciated. -- MfG/Sincerely Toralf Förster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3
