Hi,

I was wondering if any version of FreeBSD had an ioctl or
sysctl interface for collecting the dot3* statistics from ethernet
drivers (allingnment errors, collisions etc).

I am looking 2.2 code and man pages. The 'de' drivers seems to maintain 
the correct (RFC 1573) statistics, but I can't find an interface which
export these to user land in the man pages or in the code.

Anybody care to comment on the current or coming support? Or if it
already exists, how to access it (ie the ioctl or the sysctl parameters
or pointers to docs or code.)

Thanks in advance.
