Is there an application that depends on ethtool (versus netlink, or /proc)? Sorry, I see no point in providing ethtool statistics for generic data that is already reported by existing netlink and other infrastructure. The purpose of ethtool statistics is to report device specific that is not available through the normal generic statistics. -- 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
