mii-diag returns strange errors

["Wojciech Ziniewicz" <wojciech.ziniewicz@gmail.com>]

mii-diag eth0 :
[...]
Error counts, cleared when read:
    False carriers 258
    Link disconnects 16389
    Receive errors 35349
    Rx symbol errors 0.
    Rx 10Mbps Early End-Of-Frame errors 2128.
    Rx 100Mbps Early End-Of-Frame errors 1300.
    Tx jabber errors 0.

I dont' really understand what does that mean....


I dont see any disconnects on my eth0 but mii-diag sees ones...
eth0 is serving about 400 clients and stale transfer is about 11 mbit...

Is my hardware bad ? the other side is a big backbone catalyst..
