Hi, I just checked in a fix to handle bogus overflow events on certain BCM NICs using the bnx2 driver. The fix is to drop any samples where an overflow is detected on any of the four counters.
This will work fine in 64-bit mode, as overflow events are relatively rare (once in > 5000 years on a fully saturated 1Gbit NIC). But in 32-bit thaey may happen a lot more frequent (like every 40 seconds). My fix may actually drop to many valid samples. To help this out, one could sample at higher rates like 5 or 10 seconds. This definitely needs review and discussion.
