Possibly the length of the cable ?

Hi all,

I have the following problem. A Linux box configured as a bridge. One
interface connects to the router via a crossover cable, the other
connects to a switch via the cable that used to go to the router.

Now I get the following:

[root@localhost net]# ifconfig eth3
eth3      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:03:2D:07:61:5D
           UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:1969134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:176459
           TX packets:2186662 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:492595115 ( 469.7 Mb)  TX bytes:579725462 (552.8 Mb)
           Interrupt:17

eth3 is the interface that connects to the switch.  As you can see, 1 in
10 rx packets are framing errors.

What are possible causes for this? The cable is a constant, so is not
likely to cause problems, so what else can possibly cause such a high
number of frame errors?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin
