Benchmark the driver. If it's fast, it doesn't collect the statistics. Just like "WITNESS": if your machine is fast, "WITNESS" is disabled. 8-). Bascially, most of these statistics are "manager fluff" (as opposed to "seat cushion fluuf" or "pocket fluff"). What you want is statistics that are managed universally; see "netstat -ibdt" for the usefult statistics kept per interface. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
