hi,

after changing our colocation (and thus being connected to another
network) i see massive problems on the NIC that didn't occur before.

'netstat -i -I fxp0' shows me

16656239 248631  1259930     2     0
(Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs Colls)

in the colo before i was connected to (our own) Nortel 450-24T, now
flapping MACs show up at the router's IP address, which are either

0050FC -> edimax technology co., ltd.

or

0040F4 -> Cameo Communications, Inc.

however, i'd really like to see more information on the input and
output errors from the host itself (i don't have managing access to
switches/routers there) -- how can i get more information?

tia,

timo
