Hi!

As long as using it (since NetBSD 1.4, at the moment with 1.4.2_ALPHA
of Feb 19th) I see incredible large numbers of Oerrs with 'ex'
ethernet devices:

# netstat -i
Name  Mtu   Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs   Opkts Oerrs Colls
ex0   1500  <Link>        00:10:5a:f2:e2:8a   759762     1  637117 55940 89541
ex1   1500  <Link>        00:10:5a:48:30:1f  1033471     0  849143 20291  4662
                                                                   ^^^^^
It's with _every_ 'ex' device in use in our dept. Other ethernet
devices in the same lan don't complain, anyway, like:

$ netstat -i
Name  Mtu   Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs   Opkts Oerrs Colls
epic0 1500  <Link>        00:e0:29:28:3b:25  1201418     0 1387171     0 188439

Is this a 'special' feature / bug of the `ex` driver? Did I something
wrong?

Thanks for any comments,

Markus.
