Hello!
I have 3 machines with digital DE-500 ethernet cards
One machine has DE-500AA and is working perfectly ..
The two other machines have DE-500BA cards and
in 100BaseTX/full-duplex netstat reports errors and collisions
input (Total) output
packets errs bytes packets errs bytes colls

78 0 16203 106 1 66902 0
Ive replaced cables,switched cards ( these machines have 2 nic's each
, but im only using one at the moment ) and switched ports on the catalyst
5000 ..

the cards are recognized as this on both machines ( the DE500-AA has a
21140 chip )
de0: <Digital 21143 Fast Ethernet> irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci0
de0: DEC DE500-BA 21143 [10-100Mb/s] pass 3.0
de0: address 00:00:f8:10:38:73
de1: <Digital 21143 Fast Ethernet> irq 12 at device 11.0 on pci0
de1: DEC DE500-BA 21143 [10-100Mb/s] pass 3.0
de1: address 00:00:f8:10:42:4d
Any hints on what could be causing the errors & collisions ?
if the driver is at fault here I can test patches as one machine
is not used in production at all .. I know that bsd/os had problems
with the DE500-BA cards aswell , but that problem resulted in a
freezing machine on heavy netload ..
