Errors on Lite-On Netgear FA310TX

[Willem Riede]

I recently added a FA310TX to my Linux box. Unfortunately I have 
about 30% errored received packets. Tulip-diag does not seem to have
a (loopback) test. How do I check whether it is the NIC that's not
working properly or some other component that is wrong?

Some information about my setup:

kernel 2.0.33
Cyrix P166+

tulip.c:v0.89H 5/23/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0x6000, 00 a0 cc 39 18 ce, IRQ 11.
eth0:  MII transceiver found at MDIO address 1, config 1000 status 782d.
eth0:  Advertising 01e1 on PHY 1, previously advertising 01e1.
