We've expreienced this on our Sun 3/60 (running SunOS 3.5).

I don't know the source of these bogus backets, but I do know that a
problem with the Cisco gateway is randomly clobbering our Sun 386i systems
(the subnet mask gets randomly reset when the Cisco is rebooted).  This
apparently requires a ROM fix from Cisco.  It would not surprise me if the
illegal le0: packets are generated by the Cisco as well.
