I compiled and tested pre-2.1.90-1 on a 486dx33 with 8mb ram, which I use as an ip masqing ppp gateway.. Anyway, I was having problems with tcp stalling on this kernel so on the advice of someone else switched to pre-2.1.90-2, which eliminated the problem.. However I noticed this:
[snadge@bernie snadge]$ /sbin/ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:16994 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:1427034 dropped:16994 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:2C:25:39 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4219 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:80 errors:1026993 dropped:4083 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0 Interrupt:9 Base address:0x300
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:203.108.221.18 P-t-P:203.108.221.15 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:445 errors:4 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:3 TX packets:0 errors:17342 dropped:533 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
Those numbers don't look right at all, everything seems to be working fine.. Why is this? Its impossible that the ppp device hasn't sent a packet successfully, because I'm using it and its working fine.. Same with the loopback device, and as far as I can tell eth0 is working perfectly.
I've tried the latest version of net-tools, with the same result.
Cheers,
Dave.
