Hi,
netstat -i seems to report bogus collision counts.
network:
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll
ed0 1500 <Link> 0.0.c0.2.61.6f 120764 4424 120133 0 8836391
ed0 1500 vlsi.ert.rw porty 120764 4424 120133 0 8836391
The Coll number is much higher than the Ipkts/Opkts count (factor 73).
This would mean than the network is totally congested, but it isn't
(at least not that bad). I ran my computer totally disconnected from
any network this weekend, and could *still* observe collisions!
Somthing is weired....
Dirk
