The oerrors counter is incremented either if there's a watchdog timeout,
or by the xl_stats_update() routine when reading the stats counters.
The only statistic that's counted as an output error is 'FramesDeferred,' 
which the manual describes as the number of times a transmit packet must
defer to network traffic. These occur only in half-duplex modes, for
obvious reasons. Perhaps it's not correct to account for this as an 
output error?
