NE2000 NIC. >Description: netstat -I sl0 when there is an inactive SL/IP connection continues to add to the in and out packet count. Even though no packets are moving through the serial line. Perhaps the packets destined through a different interface (e.g. ed0 in my case) are being counted incorrectly against the sl0 interface? >How-To-Repeat: Do a slip connection, let it quiesce so no SL/IP packets are moving through the sio driver. Run netstat -I sl0, note the Ipkts and Opkts. Wait a second or two (watch the modem lights to make sure nothing actually goes through) Run netstat -I sl0 and notice that Ipkts and Opkts has mysteriously increased. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
