Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-amd64
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The bnx2 ethernet driver occasionally produces pseudorandom statistics
which can be seen in /proc/net/dev (such as rx byte counters
mysteriously jumping by ~ 2^60).  This is making things hard on our
network statistics graphing applications, as this causes them to report
incredibly enormous spikes of traffic that dwarf everything else in the
graphs by many orders of magnitude.

A patch to fix this has already gone into vanilla 2.6.22, and it's a
fairly small, trivial patch that looks like it would backport easily.

Any chance we can get this in an etch maintenance update of 2.6.18?

This is the patch that went into 2.6.22 from mchan@broadcom.com:

Thanks,
