The kernel patch, which is included in RHEL4.7 and RHEL5.2, addresses this problem.
You can get the patch for the problem: "qeth:discard inbound packets with unknown header ID" from Red Hat before the patch is formally included in a Red Hat release. To get the patch, you must have a Red Hat service contract.
