Hello,


Don't know if this is the right list to post this problem, but I hope 
I'm not too far off:

I have a Compaq Proliant ML 350 machine with 3 x fxp and 2 x em network 
cards.

If I issue :

systat -ip 1 I see:

    866056packets forwarded                0 - no checksum

the same for systat -ip 2.

For systat -ip 3 (and higher):

    83537 packets forwarded                0 - no checksum   -   these 
are the correct figures


I  really don't have the figures reported for refresh-interval = 1 or 2 
and have just installed Freebsd 5.4 on it. (The same problem manifests 
with Freebsd 6.0 on that box).

A friend of mine has a similar setup (but not a Compaq box) and doesn't 
see strange values for -ip 1 and -ip 2.



Any clue on what's happening or what's causing this ?



Thanks,
Mihai
