Subject: tg3: regression of netdev stats

Hi,

f4a46d1f46a8fece34edd2023e054072b02e110d (tg3: Prevent spurious tx
timeout by setting carrier off before tx disable.) seems to add the bug.

On 3.8.1 (I didn't use 3.7.x series), "ifconfig" commands doesn't show
any stats, i.e. all stats are zero. And bisect points the above commit.
In fact, reverting the above patch fixes the regression of netdev stats.

This patch looks like strange, and I'm not sure what this want to do.
Any ideas?

Well, anyway, this is bug report.

Thanks.
