Hi, all

What does a large number of RX/TX errors from ifconfig output generally
mean?  Does it also include drop/overruns/frame errors?

Is it an indication of bad packet on the link layer, which  probably means
faulty hardware?  I am assuming any kind of buffer overflow statistics are
kept under drop or overruns?

Thanks a lot,

Cheng
