Thanks. I'll complete the support as soon I'm back in the office. All 
driver statistics are also available in the the proc system under 
/proc/net/sk98lin/



procfs statistics are deprecated...

Jeff,

the proc statistics are integrated in the driver since kernel 2.2. I'll 
Well, understood, but we don't need vendor-specific, non-standard 
statistics when there is a standard method to export these statistics 
(ETHTOOl_GSTATS).

include full support for ethtool as soon I've time to do this. At the 
moment I'm still working on a support for the upcoming Marvell chipset 
(it would be great to support Linux as soon the chip is availiable) and 
a Diag-Tool for all Genesis and Yukon based cards (GUI and console tool).
Make sure you don't duplicate any ethtool functions.  We don't need a 
NIC-specific diag tool either ;-)  ethtool is the preferred method 
moving forward, as it's already shipping in most Linux distros.
