Hi,

I'm using a SMC 9332 100 MBit NIC with Digital 21140-AE chipset. I've=
 chosen the "de" driver (is it better than the "tlp" driver? The tlp man=
 says something weird...).

I have the following problem:

netstat -I de0 output:

Name  Mtu   Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs=
 Colls
de0   1500  <Link>        00:e0:29:06:b2:a7     1457     0     1439  1439=
     0
de0   1500  192.168.255   router                1457     0     1439  1439=
     0

The performance of the card is excellent, although I get this stat. That's=
 strange, isn't it?

Here is part of my dmesg output:

I'm using a low-cost 10/100 MBit switch. Help would be appreciated.
