Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically verifying whether a network interface is receiving frame data properly. A network interface and a received data checker receive frame data from a network media such as a network or a network model. The network interface processes and transmits the frame data to host memory for storage. The host memory stores the frame data and transmits the frame data to the receive data checker. The receive frame checker compares the frame data from the host memory with the frame data from the network media and generates an indicator signal. The indicator signal indicates whether the network interface is receiving frame data properly. The indicator signal is sent to a display which displays the result.
