| |
I recently upgraded my main server to a 2.4 kernel (2.4.1pre9). This machine uses 2 3Com 3C905B networkcards, bonded together (using the bonding module).
When doing a 'ifconfig' the bond0 device shows 0 RX packets, and a valid # of TX packets. However looking at eth0 / eth1 (the 2 network cards) they have the just about the same amount of RX packets, so recieving does apear to be balanced over the two interfaces.
When running this machine on 2.2.16 the interface it does show the interface statistics accuratly. I also tested this on a clean 2.4.0 kernel, and it had the same bug.
The ifconfig output (note the 0 packets in bond0's RX)
bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:B8:33:0F inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
