Quoting Jeremy Chadwick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Is there a fix for it already, or maybe a workaround?
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.
Should this not be visible on the switch as well?!?
Here some output from the interface on the server and from the switch (Cisco)
