Happens on 2.4.1pre10 as well. On the crossed Ethernet cable to my cheap
home ne2k-pci @ 10Mbit stats are correct. /proc/net/dev is wrong, so
it doesn't matter if I use 'ifconfig' or 'ip'. Figures in "errs" are
exactly the same as "carrier" and grow for example by simply pinging a
remote host. Output of ifconfig/ip:
[asuardi@princess asuardi]$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A4:F9:19:A0

The other difference in respect to my home setup is that this is DHCP,
while I set up a fixed IP address at home.
Any ideas ? Thanks in advance,
