By applying the above patch, there is no error both RX and TX as referring to ifconfig. But the drop packet during RX is still there . The above also show that ,dropped packet count in RX has increased after the transfer "RX packets:702245 errors:0 dropped:82 overruns:0 frame:0" we can observe the same in the below log =================================================== root@linaro:~# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:00:23:45:67 inet addr:10.10.10.32 Bcast:10.10.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.128 inet6 addr: fe80::280:ff:fe23:4567/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3806 (3.8 KB) TX bytes:5800 (5.8 KB) Interrupt:197 root@linaro:~# scp 10.10.10.24:/home/hari/Apps_Linux/root_* . root@10.10.10.24's password: root_ajitcramfs.tar 67% 513MB 6.3MB/s 00:38 ETACorrupted MAC on input.
