I have Sarge. I noticed it giving the error before but since I did a dist-upgrade Monday, I've noticed it happening all the time. The internet connection drops and it takes a minute or two for it to reconnect. The following is the output from dmesg
hey im getting this too!!! and im having troubles connecting to GAIM and irc servers cuz it redirects all my connections besides HTTP to 1.0.0.0, so im thinking maybe this is the reason why.. Now about that tcpdump thing or sniffing tool or whatever, how does that affect this?
i have no idea how or if the promiscuous mode affects your internet connection without information about the method of your connection.
The only thing I tried to say: the affected nic e.g. eth0 will react to _all_ packets in your net; even those it would usually not be interested in.
This may slow down your network and/or your system.
