>Description:
If a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) of a packet is wrong you can see this packet with a packet sniffer (wireshark/tcpdump) via the BPF hook in the ether_input() function.
Other network driver discard the frame.
File: sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c
Function: fxp_intr_body
The error handling after checking the status flag FXP_RFA_STATUS_CRC seems to be wrong.
>How-To-Repeat:
Connect the FreeBSD 7.1 machine to a ethernet hub. Generate traffic so that the hub shows collisions.
