So the missed packets are only showing up on em2?

Uh, and that is a management-capable 82573, one that is often a
problem without the eeprom patched, did you do that sometime in
the past, I don't remember who did and who didnt :)


Hi,
I added the patch to the box in question. It would seem the NIC is not impacted by this bug

em2: Excessive collisions = 0
em2: Sequence errors = 0
em2: Defer count = 0
em2: Missed Packets = 133
em2: Receive No Buffers = 41
em2: Receive Length Errors = 0
em2: Receive errors = 0
em2: Crc errors = 0
em2: Alignment errors = 0
em2: Collision/Carrier extension errors = 0
em2: RX overruns = 3
em2: watchdog timeouts = 0
em2: XON Rcvd = 0
em2: XON Xmtd = 0
em2: XOFF Rcvd = 0
em2: XOFF Xmtd = 0
em2: Good Packets Rcvd = 26550071
em2: Good Packets Xmtd = 14348973
em2: TSO Contexts Xmtd = 0
em2: TSO Contexts Failed = 0

However, I am still seeing overruns on this interface at about 100Mb/s
