I don't know the cause.

I can confirm I get the same message:

May 9 08:34:58 sol10vm pcn: [ID 201777 kern.info] NOTICE: pcn: possible RX
frame corruption

As well I encounter a seemingly random loss of network connectivity on the
pcn interface, which can be resolved by clicking the NIC icon in VMWare and
doing a disconnect then a Connect.

This is with:

$ uname -X
System = SunOS
Node = sol10vm
Release = 5.10
KernelID = Generic_118844-26
Machine = i86pc
BusType = <unknown>
Serial = <unknown>
Users = <unknown>
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 1

Running on VMware Workstation 5.5.0 build-18463
