So if you have major 2.6.18 submissions planned for the networking,
you need to start thinking about getting it to me now.
There is a 2.6.18 tree up at:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.18.git
All it has right now is the I/O AT stuff at the moment, and I plan to
put Stephen Hemminger's LLC multicast/datagram changes in there as
well.
David,
I posted a patch for adding support for network device statistic
resetting via ethtool. I saw no objections to it... it impliments the
framework as well as skge support, so it touches both your and Jeff's area.
For your reference, here's the two times I've posted it this month - I'm
happy to send it along again.

I disagree that we should bother about clearing statistics. It always
adds more complication than necessary. Few (if any) other statistics in
Linux permit easy clearing, often because adding operations other than
'increment' or 'read' requires adding expensive spinlocks or atomic
operations.
