Corrupted MAC on input

[Jim Knoble]

Circa 2004-05-03 20:55:24 -0400 dixit Deron Meranda:

: Note that I am going through a Linksys router.  It is a BEFSR41
: firmware "1.44.2, Dec 13 2002".  I may try to upgrade it.

This is the first thing i would recommend.  I've experienced exactly the
same MAC corruption using OpenSSH through a BEFSR41 with that firmware;
a later firmware (1.45.7, 2003-07-31) fixed the problem.  Beware and
write down all your configuration settings; this one caused a factory
reset after installation, if memory serves.

This (slightly reformatted) changelog entry may be a telltale:

Ver #.          Date            Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.45.7          Jul 31,2003     [...]
                                3.Fixed fragmented packets arriving out
                                  of order

Good luck.
