--- Comment #2 from Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@novell.com 2008-10-23 08:57:28 MDT --- Are any packets getting through properly here? Or perhaps it's just an accounting bug in the driver?

--- Comment #3 from Radek Doulik rodo@novell.com 2008-10-29 03:39:03 MDT --- Yeah, packets are sent and received as well. Just the dropped counter seems acting weird.

--- Comment #7 from Karsten Keil kkeil@linux-pingi.de 2009-02-28 10:03:55 MST --- Hmm still can not reproduce it here, maybe it is very specific to this chipset. Since it seems to be only a cosmetic issue I close this now.

--- Comment #8 from Radek Doulik rodo@novell.com 2009-03-02 03:57:51 MST --- I have retested it today and the issue is gone. It was probably fixed meanwhile.
