Hello again,

ever seen something like this?

# netstat -ni

where: pcn0 = PCI AMD PCnet 10/100 (AT-2700FX), pcn1 = PCI AMD PCnet 10MBit
(HP Vectra builtin adapter), lo0 should be known.

Look ar Opkts and Oerrs and compare between the adapters... What is going on
here? pcn0 id fiber, so quite error-free, and the network works fine and with
good performance. And how can we produce 12018 errors in 0 packets? :)

The wrong counter counted up?

dmesg excerpts:
