Hi,
We have a highly (network) loaded server, running redhat 6.2. The card is
using tulip driver.
This is the output of ifconfig (note:IPs in this post are not real numbers)
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:E0:A2:52
inet addr:222.222.8.118 Bcast:222.222.8.127 Mask:255.255.255.240

RX packets:23883054 errors:181152 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:95989676
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xe000
We are getting tons of overruns, and I do not know how to fix this
I tried setting the card via the /etc/conf.module, but nothing changed
alias eth0 tulip
options tulip debug=1 options=3 full_duplex=1
I used the tulip_diag.c available on the tulip site, and it reports the
following

Port selection is 10mpbs-serial 100baseTx scrambler, full-duplex.
Transmit started, Receive started, full-duplex.
The Rx process state is 'Waiting for packets'.
The Tx process state is 'Idle'.
The transmit unit is set to store-and-forward.
Is this card in 100 or 10 mode?? Why does ifconfig say 10??
dmesg reports
tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Macronix 98715 PMAC rev 37 at 0xe000, 00:20:78:E0:A2:52, IRQ 10.

I even changed the /proc/sys/vm/freepages
from 256 512 768
to 300 400 50, and nothing changed..
Any ideas?? I have a feeling it is a buffer overflow issue,, where the
card is not able to handle the traffic, but how do you fix that??
Any help is appretiated..
