 I've heard some boxes that didn't do the ipg correctly. Don't know what NIC

Just found out the other day that via-rhine appears to do this.

 OK. Adding FCS yes kinda compromise and maybe was wrong in this aspect.

Let's remove it then?

 The only solution I can think of is of having a selectable option in 
 the config for output stats. To support different L2 layers and with  
 warning if we are "predicting" L2 statistics. Feel free to extend your
 patch.

At that point it might be easier to just do it in userspace, no?
