Just installed a 3c590 ethernet adapter in place of a 3c509 and checked ifconfig after booting just to verify everything looked ok. This is what i got.
~> ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:136 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:136 overruns:0
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:AF:EF:33:72 inet addr:206.224.95.210 Bcast:206.224.95.223 Mask:255.255.255.240 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:3253 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:4672 overruns:0 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x6100
Notice there are no transmitted or recieved packets, only RX errors and TX drops. The funny thing is that the machine is running on the network without and problems, in fact i'm typing to it right now over the network. So i figure that it's the new ethernet card acting weird, but loopback is doing the same thing. Over time, the drops and overruns on each will increase with traffic to the machine. netstat -i is also showing the same behavior.
~> netstat -i Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flags lo 3584 0 0 140 0 0 0 0 140 0 BLRU eth0 1500 0 0 3388 0 0 0 0 4793 0 BRU
This is kernel 2.1.24 + 2.1.24-patch1. Did some counters get erf'd?
Thanks, Roy
