7/01    What does it mean that i have "carrier" transmission errors?
          TX packets:2460642 errors:36804 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:73608
           \_ I can't believe nobody knows this.  Anyone?
              \- well it depends on the media and the devices ... the most
                 common cause of ethernet frame errors i see these days are
                 boned duplex negotiation. but if this is linux, i've heard
                 about lots of different problems with linux. --psb
