I guess that depends what you consider to be 'lots'? If you are using device polling, then I expect the interrupts to be quite high. If you are not using the interface for any network traffic and it is a quiet network (ie not much broadcast traffic) then I expect the volume to be high. If you are using the network actively the volume could be totally normal. What makes you think you have 'lots' of interupts as opposed to 'normal level' ? Regards, Tony
