Hi, Yes there are no hops, I'm just pinging the router infront of me.
# netstat -nI silbpi1 Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll silbp 1500 <Link#2> 00:e0:ed:0c:a8:5d 1009627153 2459 1323071177 0 0 silbp 1500 x.x.x.x x.x.x.x 606092 - 1323073544 - - There are errors, but that was from when I was changing the mode of the interface (from autosense) - they don't increment as the pings drop.. # ifconfig silbpi1 silbpi1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast x.x.x.x ether 00:e0:ed:0c:a8:5d media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active The silbpi card uses the em driver - I tried the onboard em cards but had the same problem.. I've also connected a cable to my other card, silbpi0, which does no traffic and pinging on there is stable. That seems to indicate it's something card specific, but hping never has a problem ?
