Dear all,

I just get a DELL PowerEdge 2450 server for less than a month, running on
Redhat 6.2 (kernel 2.2.14-6.1.1), as a FTP and web server. Problem arises
when this server when I do a ifconfig -a, an overrun shown on the eth0 for
TX:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:B0:D0:68:5A:A9
          inet addr:202.123.234.9  Bcast:202.123.234.63
        Mask:255.255.255.192
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:2817761 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:828148 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:56 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:16 Base address:0xf000

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          RX packets:12802 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:12802 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

I have went through a few of similar solutions from this mailing list, but I
do not know which version of eepro100.c should be upgraded to .... Thanks in
advance.

Regards,
Chan
