Reason for Ierrs in netstat

[Frank Wille <frank%phoenix.owl.de@localhost>]

Hi,

one of our servers has some network issues. Symptoms are: Bad ping (twice
as high as comparable machines on the same net), packet loss and increasing
number of Ierrs in "netstat -i".

Is there any chance I can find out the reason behind those Ierrs?


I rebooted the system a few hours ago, and there are some Ierrs again
already:

tethys# netstat -i
