Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-8
Severity: normal
During a network session RX dropped counter shows great numbers. All
the other things of the network are fine. The typical value of the
counter is of the order of magnitude of 10^9, eg.,
$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep "RX packets"
RX packets:483 errors:0 dropped:3771247613 overruns:0 frame:0
$
The problem appears with the following network adapter:
$ lspci -nn -s 01:00.0
01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [10ec:8136] (rev 02)
$
The same issue was mentioned with the kernel: `Linux 2.6.24-1-686' and
`RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller' [1].
Francois Romieu suggested a patch [2] for `r8169.c' to solve the problem.
Please consider applying the patch to the Debian package.
