E1000.o network driver

[E K]

Hi Joseph,

It means that some packets are being dropped and some have  have errors. 
This can be a result of bad network connection, hub problem, etc.

One thing to note though is the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) is set to 0. Try 
to set it to 1500 which is the most common MTU for ethernet networks. Refer 
to the man page of ifconfig for full description of the ifconfig command.

cheers,
EK

Does anyone know of a link to information on the E1000.o driver's 
"homepage"
I'm seeing some strange network problems and would like to know what
the errors really mean.

What I need is the meaning of the following, and preferably a list of
"this option means X"

UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:0  Metric:1
           RX packets:390553640 errors:679 dropped:457 overruns:0 frame:146
           TX packets:533474124 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:177959639 (169.7 Mb)  TX bytes:1331171627 (1269.5 Mb)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
