Things usually work fine when this happens, just very slowly, which is why the warning is printed. Patrick, this is on sparc64, it appears to be this code: pm->timestamp_sec = skb->tstamp.off_sec; pm->timestamp_usec = skb->tstamp.off_usec; and the NLMSG_DATA() (and thus 'pm') is not 8-byte aligned. I bet this is a 32-bit sparc binary, has the idea of a compat layer for the ULOG bits ever been discussed?
