Hello,

I'm getting a similar situation using 2 Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B
adapters in a router box pulling around 6mbit consistently...the error
column in netstat -in reveals a few errors and nfs mounts and traffic
starts freaking out...then a reboot gets it right...

I was thinking of switching to a dual Netelligent 10/100 from
Compaq...anybody know anything?
