Hi,

I have a low end server, Core 2 Duo 2.8, 4GB used to backup using rsync 
over a 82574L interface. Kernel 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.x86_64 (e1000e 
0.3.3.4-k4). It is using MSI-X interrupts.

It's suffering somewhat due to dropping frames:

RX packets:294914332 errors:0 dropped:95203 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:355842341 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

and ethtool shows rx_missed_errors: 95203.

Googling shows these are caused by the RX FIFO filling up.

Are there any "knobs" I can twiddle to stop this? There seem to be no 
buffer related module parameters.

Regards,

Richard
