It's not the first time I set it up, it's the first time I get the message. The setup was with: ip tunnel add tun1 remote x.x.x.x local x.x.x.x mode sit ttl 64 ip link set tun1 up ip addr add x:x:x:x::1/126 dev tun1 ip route add 2000::/3 dev tun1 ifconfig tun1 returns: tun1 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 inet6 addr: fe80::x:x/128 Scope:Link inet6 addr: x:x:x:x::1/126 Scope:Global UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:2181995 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10417287 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 ip -6 route | grep tun1: x:x:x:x::/126 via :: dev tun1 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1480 2000::/3 dev tun1 metric 1024 mtu 1480 fe80::/10 via :: dev tun1 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1480 ff00::/8 dev tun1 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1480 There are 2 other tunnels set up simular, except that they don't have 2000::/3 routed to them. It's also running radvd. It's acting as our ipv6 gateway. I just removed that tunnel and and added it again, and I'm still getting it. Something I just noticed: For eth0 we have: RX packets:13934920 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:13415931 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:533154 txqueuelen:100 I find that a rather big number of collisions.
