From your log messages, it looks like the system is sending mangled packets, but whether that's due to a problem with the network interface or something malicious is unclear. There only appears to be a few messages though, which doesn't explain why you have excessive outbound traffic.

I'd start by firing up ethereal or tcpdump and getting a sample of some of the traffic and see if you can identify the type of traffic and destination.

Also, as root take a listing of current processes running on the system (use ps aux | tee log) and of current networking sockets (netstat -pantu | tee -a log).
