I read this mailing-list every day (or at least I try ;) ) but I don't have
read such a problem (in fact mails with subject SMP = dropped packets cover
this problem but I don't have SMP kernel or computer !).
I have 2.1.112 kernel compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3 and it seems that my
network card stats are going wrong (a basic ne2000 on isa bus). I give you
a screenshot just taken after boot.

If I make some operations over network (list, copy, etc..), "errors" and
"dropped" increase very fast in the same proportion as shown as above
without network troubleshootings (loopback interface has the same problem).
It doesn't append with kernel 2.0.35 with the same options (if I remember
correctly kernel 2.1.11[012] have the same problem).
Has anyone else experienced similar behavior ?
Thanks.
