Ok, we do a similar stats polling, though through a private ioctl I
hacked into the kernel to
get the netdev->stats struct with a memcpy. I haven't noticed any
problems with counters
in the e1000 driver. I haven't done enough testing on bcm drivers to
ascertain whether it's
reliable or not w/regard to stats.
If you can reproduce the problem with e1000, it would be worth looking
at the logic that prints
out the proc interface text for problems..and if you cannot, then maybe
it's the bcm driver that
is at issue.
Thanks,
Ben
