Hi all,

There maybe:
1. store software counters counted in software in stat_soft_last
2. store software counters counted in hardware in stat_hard_last
3. diff them after getting the fresh counters from hardware and software
4. wait for
The total packet count in the driver was done so that the count is always right
even in between stats updates. Believe it or not there are some people that
think this is an important thing for some reason. We don't understand that but
agreed to do this to correct what they were seeing with the

Hey-
REcently observed a problem wherein, if a BMC or other IPMI device is
attached to a NIC, multicast frames can be consumed by the aformentioned device
without ever being seen by the driver. Since multicast frames are counted in
the hardware and the total frame counter is counted in the
