TransmitRetryCount
(NE3200
TM
) This counter is incremented when the driver is
unable to transmit a packet after a specified number of times.
This may indicate a hardware problem.
TxClearToSendsErrors (NE3200) This counter tracks an 82586 error.
There are some conditions when the Clear to Send signal from
the 82586 chip is incorrect.
This counter indicates the number of times the corrective code on
the adapter was executed to work around this condition in the
82586.
TxDMAUnderrunErrors (NE3200) This counter tracks an 82586 error.
Contention among the BMIC, 80186, and 82586 can occur on the
adapter, causing the 82586 to assume it did not receive all of the
packet for transmission. The transmit operation must then be
retried.
This counter indicates the number of times the corrective code on
the adapter was executed to work around this condition.
RxDMAOverrunErrors (NE3200) This counter tracks an 82586 error.
If two packets are received back-to-back at close to 9.6
microseconds (the minimum Ethernet interframe spacing), then
the chip may report an overrun.
If so, the frames are lost by the chip and the source must
retransmit.
This counter indicates the number of times this error has
occurred.
RxPacketSlideErrors (NE3200) This counter tracks the number of instances of an
82586 anomaly.
In some conditions, the 82586 might be off by two bytes in the
receive packet descriptors. In this case, the sending station must
retransmit the packet.
This counter indicates the number of times this condition has
occurred.
