Hi errors count

[Oliver Schulze L.]

Hi,
I have used a RTL8139 based NIC for months with no problems.

I am connected to a NFS server via loong ethernet cable(UTP)
at 10Mbit.
I'm getting high errors count reported by 'ifconfig eth0'.

Could this be a 'noise in the cable' issue?

My 'ifconfig eth0' (uptime 1h 07min):
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:C0:DF:24:86:00  
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:70963 errors:1309 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:98437 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:41563 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0xb800 

NFS server 'ifconfig eth0' (uptime 36 days):
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:5A:9A:EC:88  
          inet addr:192.168.1.3  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:12509463 errors:491 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:517
          TX packets:16153201 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:416744 txqueuelen:100

Comments are welcome
