Re: [expert] LM9.1/9.0: Huge number of errors for eth0 RX packets
From: Frederic Soulier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok solved. Replacing the tulip driver by the dmfe driver did the trick. No more RX errors, no more errors at all. in /etc/modules.conf replaced alias eth0 tulip with alias eth0 dmfe /Fred Nice to hear... Now can you send lspcidrake -v (not lspci -v) directly to me so we can get it changed in the MDK installer... regards Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] LM9.1/9.0: Huge number of errors for eth0 RX packets
Hmm I had the same problem with a davicom card.. changed the network card to a realtek and problem was gone.. I know that a lot of people will think that the realtek cards ain't very good, but over the last few year I have found them very reliable.
