Hi,

I'm having overrun errors in the following configuration:

  stock redhat 7.2 with:
  kernel 2.4.7
  net-tools (ifconfig) 1.60

This is a DELL 1300 computer that has two EEPRO100, one built-in (eth0,
which works perfectly) and an extra PCI card (eth1), which has the problem
of TX overruns.

# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:B0:D0:21:0B:23
          inet addr:192.168.2.151  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:1176 (1.1 Kb)
          Interrupt:14 Base address:0x5000


Any idea?
