Also, some TCP implementations sometimes don't align the timestamp options in the headers as well.
Also, as I mentioned, try IP over appletalk.
Unaligned accesses are perfectly normal, _especially_ in the kernel. This is an axiom of the kernel networking decided a long time ago, and printing out a silly message when it happens doesn't make that any less true. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
