Hey there, I got up today morning just to find out that my network quit, the problem was most likely network card going bad over night, it went away after i changed the nic in my linux machine, but i would still like to get to the root of the problem.
The card was 3c900/EtherLink XL PCI, i haven't had 3com quit on me yet before, so that's why all this looks so weird to me. First thing that i did i looked in ifconfig eth0, and this is what i got: RX packets:4937728 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5143912 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:8672 collisions:1 txqueuelen:100 i noticed that the carrier is unusually high, normally it stays at 0 so i started looking for some kind of info on what it is, but i can't find anything in the docs or on the net, would someone please enlighten me about this ?:) Dingo. ).|.( '.'___'.'
