It was running with 2.1.7.1 about one year without problems. Since the upgrade to 2.2-971223, I get the following syslog messages every now and then: Dec 29 18:18:19 dorifer /kernel: de0: receive: 00:e0:f7:8a:8d:41: alignment error Dec 29 18:25:37 dorifer /kernel: de0: receive: 00:00:e8:0d:8d:6f: bad crc As far as I can tell, nothing else has changed (same network card, mainboard, CPU, RAM). Is this a problem with the "de" driver? Or is this just normal, and the 2.1.7.1 driver just didn't report it? Or did my network card break at the same time I upgraded to 2.2-971223? Please tell me if I should provide any additional information. Regards Oliver PS: The errors don't seem to affect data integrity, therefore I think the affected packets are retransmitted. PPS: No need to cc replies to me; I'm reading the list via a news gateway. -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18-61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de)
