LANCP counters display 'strange' new bits

Dear all,
We've recently upgraded our test boxes to 7.3-2, and put the latest patches on, incl. update v4 and lan v3.
I've also added a new NIC onto our AS4000s.
After net$configure option 3, MC LANCP SHOW DEV/COUNT shows 'strange' bits:
Characteristic #0x00C9, Value = 0000
0 Seconds since last zeroed
etc.
Full output attached.
ewa0 is DC21140 - 100 mbit NI (Tulip)
eia0/1 is DE602-BA i82558 100BaseTX.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Tiina Ayris

Re: LANCP counters display 'strange' new bits

Is it possible you are running an older version of LANCP? You may want to check the following:

- DIR SYS$SYSTEM:LANCP.EXE, is it in SYS$COMMON?
- INSTALL LIST SYS$SYSTEM:LANCP.EXE, it isn't installed on my workstation.
- PRODUCT SHOW OBJECT [*]LANCP.EXE; I don't have UPDATE4 installed, but LAN V3 is generation 60110007.

Tiina,
Karl Rohwedder added an interesting link with furthermore information about lancp. I added this document for your information. It appears tulip driver user some other counters.

It was the LAN V3 patch. It's been undone (I'm grateful for this new pcsi feature!) and show dev/counters show up without any strange referrals to counter resets.
Many thanks, Garry and Antonie, for your contributions. Tiina
