Excessive Ethernet Collisions (2.0.34 + tulip)
We're using DEC Celebris GL6200 with 21143 tulip cards, and the
only version of the driver that seems to work is v0.91 from the
NASA website. This is also true on my 2.1 installation, which
is not having quite as substantial a problem, but then it isn't
running exactly the same suite of daemons (etc.)
Does any happen to see anything in this list of active processes
that might be causing so many collsions? The activity is very
sporadic, but there do seem to be an awful lot of them (ifconfig
listing below ps listing):
