normally # of interrupts is a bit less than # of pakets (valid only for
receive)

how shell a card notify the os (its driver) that it received a paket? it
can only by generating an interrupt

its hard to believe for me that you have another card with no
interrupts. can you post the complete output?

Hi all,

I have a network en0card that is having a high volume of :

ransmit Statistics: Receive Statistics:
-------------------- -------------------
Packets: 20053539 Packets: 26199157
Bytes: 1914061530 Bytes: 1865238706
Interrupts: 9 Interrupts: 26027522
Transmit Errors: 7 Receive Errors: 1
Packets Dropped: 0 Packets Dropped: 0
                                              Bad Packets: 1

the card is set to Half duples.

I do have another identical machine (lan settings the same, no the same)
but no Interrupts. Could it be some problem with the lan card (hwe)
itself ?

thank you,
