I am really not sure what is required here. Please see if below info.
helps (not an expert comment, though :)).
You can get the netdev struct of the interface by name:
struct net_device *netdev = dev_get_by_name("eth0"); // when
netdev->name is eth0.
struct e1000_adapter *adapter = netdev_priv(netdev); // obtain the
adapter.
And you also can take a look at e1000_ethtool.c to obtain the stats for
each interface using the adapter.
Hope it helps.
