Ben,
Here is the output of the physical interface
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0e:c6:88:d2:22
inet6 addr: fe80::20e:c6ff:fe88:d222/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1538 errors:0 dropped:12 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:270154 (270.1 KB) TX bytes:2966862 (2.9 MB)
and you can see there are no dropped count in there!
