Hi Manuel,
thanks for the advice.

	options LEDEBUG

	le0: missed packet

I digged the sources but am stil unshure. Does it meen that thoose 8 recieve buffers are insuficient?
Can I increase the number of recieve buffers for le0, or are the part of the lance chip?

Moreover looking a bit beeper on my dmesg, I wonder why my onboard le0 is bound to sbus0 and my sbus le1 is bound to ledma0.
Does that meen I have dma support for le1 but not for le0?
A look at an SS5 shows le0 at ledma0, but this machine also suffers a equivalent Ierrs and Colls rate.

Any hints?

Thankx AHA
