The problem was that the driver code was not properly obtaining error statistics from the Broadcom chip, thus errors _were_ (before the fix) not being calculated/accounted for. Now (after the fix) errors are being accounted for correctly. So the errors you see in your netstat output are probably real/ ccurate. I'll vote for a duplex-related problem or some naughty cabling. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
