I observerd this strange behaviour, my network doesn't seem to suffer but
I accidentally typed ifconfig and saw those too many errors, the stranger
it is that there are lots of errors on each interface...

the network load wasn't hi at all, actually almost nothing...

I use ipchains for firewalling, ipforwarding and masquaradeing.

the same system with 2.0.35 after a lot more uptime
