I don't know exactly what it means by 'FramesDeferred', but I don't think it should be included as an output error. oerrors should only be incremented when a packet is dropped due to a failure of some kind, e.g. a too many collisions, DMA underrun, or device timeout. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
