Rumours are that these messages are harmless, but if someone can explain these messages properly, it would be nice to add an entry to the DIAGNOSTICS section of the xl manpage (hence, this mail also goes to doc mailinglist) I see these messages too on my router/gateway: xl1: transmission error: 90 xl1: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes xl1: transmission error: 90 xl1: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 180 bytes xl0: transmission error: 90 xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes xl1: transmission error: 90 xl1: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 240 bytes Regards, Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
