ifconfig: rx packets errors very high

[dinino]

Hi all,

I installed kubuntu on my machine. I mounted a smb share from my SuSE 10.0 box.
Whenever I try to copy any files from the remote box, its going terribly slow.

During the copy of an mp3 i ran ifconfig with following output:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As one can see, the RX packet errors is very high and still growing.

My network card is an 3com 3c905c-tx card

All help would be appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

Perhaps your nic is just showing its age
