Hi

A little question:

I have a little server with kernel 2.4.16 running (without any problems, very stable).

I noticed that when approximately 4 GB data are received (over Ethernet) then the counter in /proc/net/dev again begins to count from zero.
Is it normal? Does it depend on the Ethernet-Card?
It's a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)

Should I update the kernel?

greets

Marc
