input errors on "net0" (RT-PC).

[Rene Nieuwboer]

I've 3 questions about the ethernet baseband adapter for the IBM RT-PC
(6151) and AIX 2.2.1.

1) We have a RT-PC installed with a baseband adapter in an ethernet
   network with a lot of Sun's. What i find interesting is that when
   you do a "netstat -i" the net0 device reports a lot of input
   errors, half the number of input packets. What could be the cause
   of this? And when exactly treats the net driver input as an error?
2) With the "devices" command you can change a lot of parameters,
   especially for buffering. What do these parameters mean?
   How are these parameters working together with the "interrupt
   rate" jumpering (thresholds and so on)?
3) If you do "ifconfig net0 debug" where is the debugging information
   going to and how do "trcrpt" and "errpt" work with the net driver?

If there is something mentioned in manuals where is it then?
I can find a lot about Token Ring but about Baseband...!

Many thanks in advance.
