Ok, good to know.

I'll try that..

# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.13.6-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 7 17:02:28 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# grep -i DYNAMIC_DEBUG /boot/config-3.13.6-200.fc20.x86_64
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y

# echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

8       4       1       7

# ethtool -s wwp0s26u1u5i1 msglvl rx_err on

Is that enough? I don't see any errors logged in "dmesg" output,
but the RX errors counters do keep increasing in ifconfig output..
