Re: Tcpdump not showing packets while the TX counter increments.

[Matthew Schumacher <matt.s () aptalaska net>]

Oh, sorry, that would have been helpful:

Slackware64-14.0

Linux 3.2.45 #2 SMP Fri May 31 20:14:55 CDT 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R)
CPU           X5550  @ 2.67GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

glibc-2.15

I dug around in the kernel source looking for what exactly causes the
counter to increment, but it wasn't at all obvious what was going on.

Thanks for your help,
schu
