appears to make sense, when this happens referring to the old error with RX packets just check your "ifconfig -a" to see if there are a certain number more errors there than before, if a pattern occurs it's more likely to be a software bug, if there is no pattern then i'd assume it's a manufacturer hardware defect, and no.. questions are why we have the lists
