How is it connected to your network? If it is a switch, what do the diagnostic lights tell you? Could you install the mii-diag package and post the output of the mii-diag program? I have the strong impression that this is either a flakey link or some el Cheapo card that has trouble negotiating a link speed with the other end. > why is TX at 0? how is the nic transmitting anything to the internal > network when TX is at 0? and for some reason, it's putting in an error for > each packet. also, what is this carrier number, and why is it so high? > > this isn't really an emergency since everything is running and working as > far as i can see, but i just found this bit odd. What that carrier number means is something I could not really get an answer to, so if someone else here knows, I would like to know too... I have recently seen such behaviour with a via-rhine card that was for some reason re-negotiating the link speed several times per hour and sometimes lost connection for quite a while.
