I'm just trying to limit people inventing their own interpretations of this API. Broadcom for instance does something dumb with current counts I think they return curr.combined = curr.rx, even though there is only curr.combined rings... You will over allocate space for all NICs with return both combined and non-combined counts. But that's not a huge deal, not worth arguing about. Moving on..
