If the light was full on or full off it was fine, but anywhere in between and it dropped packets like crazy. I added a choke on the lamp's power line and it's been fine since. YMMV.

Hello,
I wanted to change the router/firewall at a small office lan to hardened
gentoo. The machine in question sits between a consumer grade adsl modem
and 3 different networks (so a total of 4 eth cards on the server).
However, there is a high packet loss (25-50%) between server and adsl
modem. cat /proc/net/dev reveals high error count on the receive side of
the eth card connected to modem (transmit side has no errors). I changed
the eth card and the network cable but the problem stays the same.
The same eth card and cable works without any errors with a FC3 server. I
am beginning to think that the errors are because of a faulty (on my part)
sofware config.
I am out of ideas to try. Any pointers to possible causes of high packet
loss are highly appreciated.
Thank you
