Hello,

I have a dual PentiumPro mashine with an Tyan S1662D Mainboard
in one of the ISA slots I use a NE2000 compatible Network Board.
TCP/IP networking is working fine, but the Statistics I get using
ifconfig are really silly. Here is an example

eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:AC:79:94
inet addr:192.168.10.11 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:61910 errors:480 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:174 overruns:17798
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300

With 2.0.35 everytihng is correct !

This is just for your information, since all networking is working fine
I do not expect any reply to me.

Yours
Michael Schwab
