Sounds like your sun is getting upset by real network routing broadcasts -
its getting frames from 198.109.165.1 which is a host it cant reach as it
is on a different static net. If you have to use RIP to your provider then
one quick and easy solution is to firewall off RIP on the ethernet that
talks to the sun then 1.3.x kernels won't send the rip frames to that
interface.
