>Description:
Packets of some size do not pass through network interface.

After some experiment's i found size of ICMP packet's that do not pass.
  Size of payload, range 
  1473 bytes - 1479 bytes
  2953 bytes - 2959 bytes
  4433 bytes - 4439 bytes
  5913 bytes - 5919 bytes

So, we have formula of size of problem payloads:
1473+x*1480  - 1479+x*1480, where x=1,2,3,4,5,6...

I have kernel:

>How-To-Repeat:
Add to "generic" kernel support of IPFILTER,install this kernel,reboot, and ping any IP address with payload of 1475 bytes:
ping -s 1475 any_ip_address

>Fix:
Disable support of IPFILTER and problem disappear.
