It could be that the driver you are using doesn't report those statistics.
It's also possible you haven't had any errors in that
time. In my statistics below, the send/receive byte counts have overflowed the
32-bit limit many times, so don't believe them. I
probably download 2-10 gigabytes per day, and the uptime is 33 days.
