Many "martian source" log messages after upgrade to F13
Last modified: 2011-06-27 14:22:19 EDT
Description of problem: Since upgrading from F12 to F13 I get lots of these messages in the logs martian source 192.168.1.102 from 192.168.1.1, on dev wlan0 ll header: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:1c:f0:fd:8f:26:08:06 In fact in the last hour and a half I already got 68 # uptime 14:53:34 up 1:30, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.05, 0.06 # dmesg |grep martian|wc -l 68 This only seems to happen when I am connected over both eth0 and wlan0 simultaneously to the same network, which is a common setup for a home WiFi router. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.33.5-124.fc13.x86_64 NetworkManager-0.8.1-0.1.git20100510.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Each time you have 2 network interfaces on the same network (eth0 and wlan0 in this case) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Typical home WiFi router 2. connect to the router via WiFi 3. connect to the router via Ethernet Actual results: Martian invasion Expected results: Martians stay at home Additional info: # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:41:E3:7E:57 inet addr:192.168.1.102 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:44592 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:33955 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:47017332 (44.8 MiB) TX bytes:4945014 (4.7 MiB) Memory:ee000000-ee020000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:737 (737.0 b) TX bytes:737 (737.0 b) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:7E:57:31:2D inet addr:192.168.1.103 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:784 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:149921 (146.4 KiB) TX bytes:3849 (3.7 KiB) # lspci -nn|grep Ethernet 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:109a] 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc.

This appears to be kernel/network layer issues.
In the meantime I got a new machine with Intel Wifi and it has the same problem. $ lspci -nn|grep Network 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10ea] (rev 06) 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 [8086:4239] (rev 35)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
