Humm, i would prefer error counts to be more correct than anything
else. When debugging issues, you generally don't care how many packets
worked. It is how many failed you are interesting, and how that number
of failures increases.
So long as these counters are still in ethtool -S, i guess it does not
matter. That i do trust to be accurate, and probably consistent across
the counters it returns.
