>What kind of errors ? How do you get the number ?

When looking at 'ifconfig eth1', I'm seeing this:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:04:7C:7D:FA
          inet addr:192.168.10.1  Bcast:192.168.10.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1671998 errors:811 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:811
          TX packets:2414782 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:808960007 (771.4 Mb)  TX bytes:2092337820 (1995.4 Mb)
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe000

The more intense the traffic, the quicker the errors. Also note the frame errors correspond.

Indeed I do...sorry...mistype.

Sure;
