Subject: Getting physical packet counts with LRO enabled with ixgbe?

I notice that with LRO enabled, the interface stats count the LRO'd pkts,
not the physical ones on the wire.

I also tried using ethtool -S, but it seems those counters are the same.

Is there any way to get the actual rx/tx packet count on the wire?

Also, for the rx/tx bytes, I assume that isn't counting the protocol headers
for the physical pkts that have been merged into a single LRO packet.  Is
there any way to get the wire stats for bytes as well?

Thanks,
Ben
