Kip,

pi->mac.stats are not updated too frequently, especially when compared
to the rates at which packets/bytes are sent and received.  The ifp->
counters will lag behind the actual values.  This will affect the
"realtime-ness" of the stats seen via utilities like netstat. 

We should continue to increment the ifp's counters as best as we can
during tx/rx.  It is good to sync them up with mac.stats every so often,
but relying exclusively on mac.stats may not be best.

Regards,
Navdeep
