I tried it with 3 different manufacturers of switched, 2 managed and one non-managed. Same results each time. For me playing around with mii-tool helps. After setting the transmission mode to something else than 100FD, I can even let it autonegotiate back without causing trouble. The corrupt frames disappear and do not come back. A reboot however lets the trouble begin again. As stated in the original report, there were no problems with the kernel release before, so the problem should be solvable by software. I've switch to a PCI NIC on for obvious reasons. But for me this might still be a good suggestion. Or I start some mii-tool voodoo in init.d. Thanks, tobias -- Tobias Richter LabPZ - AG Prof. Dr. P.

Three additional pieces of information on this: * ifconfig reports the rx errors as frame errors (ca. 30% of all packets) * it really was blocking my rsync transfer * limiting to 10MBit-FD with mii-tool helped: no more errors, rsync works -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
