I just loaded a kernel built last night on a system which gets fairly heavy use, and am seeing some odd things on the "de" driver... (this is just after a reboot) $ netstat -i Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll de0 1500 <Link> 00.00.c0.0a.a9.c8 6258 0 10183 0 1634 de0 1500 192.160.127 Nntp1 6258 0 10183 0 1634 de1 1500 <Link> 00.00.c0.b4.49.cf 36083 229 17782 5 0 de1 1500 199.3.39 News-nfs 36083 229 17782 5 0 lp0* 1500 <Link> 0 0 0 0 0 lo0 16384 <Link> 0 0 0 0 0 lo0 16384 127 localhost 0 0 0 0 0 de0: <Digital 21041 Ethernet> rev 0x11 int a irq 12 on pci0.12.0 de0: SMC 21041 [10Mb/s] pass 1.1 de0: address 00:00:c0:0a:a9:c8 de1: <Digital 21140 Fast Ethernet> rev 0x12 int a irq 9 on pci0.13.0 de1: SMC 9332DST 21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.2 de1: address 00:00:c0:b4:49:cf de1: enabling 100baseTX port What's odd about this is the "Ierrs" field. The Oerrs field is from me pulling the cord to switch it to another port on our 100BaseTX switch (thinking that perhaps the port was defective). The *switch* (an Intel 510T) to which it is connected reports no errors. The cable has been swapped twice, and they're all pre-builts. Before the upgrade, I wasn't seeing these Ierrs. Is the driver misreporting, is the driver possibly broken, or does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on here? I'm hesitant to update any of our other machines with the new kernel until I understand this, because of the obvious risk if we do so and there's a serious bug in the driver for the "de" cards (which we have a *lot* of). I'm going to swap the board next, on the off chance that perhaps that the card got strange at this particular moment, but I have trouble believing that to be the case.
