rtnetlink uses 32bit counters, /proc/net/dev (which ifconfig reads from) is in plain text and thus doesn't have the 32/64bit userspace/kernel problem -> You'll get whatever size long is on your platform according to the kernel. Please fix the kernel to provide 64bit statistics over netlink and we'll be able to fix iproute to use them. More information is available in debian bug #199054 and this has been discussed on the netdev mailing list as well. I'm merging the two bugs as it's the same issue.... -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
