OK, lets suppose this was done. Assume we were speaking of a link-level stats MIB, would this then be something that did an ethtool-like call into each driver and so we are back to per-driver differences having to be dealt with by higher layers, or would we be having the drivers stick stats in multiple places? Or are we back to wanting drivers to have a common set of stats they keep? rick jones unafraid to show his ignorance of how things work, and how :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
