my NIC doesn't work .My os is RHEL5.1/32bit/dual core intel cpu. the
ifconfig output:

eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:55:7B:B5:7D:F7

[compton ~]$ etherwhois 00:55:7B
Non-existent address as of Feb 24 10:03:16 UTC 2008 OUI file [compton
~]$

That doesn't look good.

why the frame value(21668) so large?

You can't talk to the NIC - you may be using the wrong driver. The
actual meaning of a Frame error is that the number of BITS is not
exactly dividable by 8 (bytes) which is wrong because an Ethernet frame
is always and exact number of bytes in length. This usually indicates
a hardware failure, but can also be caused by using the wrong driver.

It would appear that the device is unknown. You might try using the
search engine you are posting from - a search for 'Airgo NIC Linux'
turns up some information, and might be a starting place.

This PCIE NIC is designed by myself. i just borrow Airgo vendor/device
ID random. it isn't any product if Airgo.


Are you sure that your self-designed hardware is working correctly?
