Subject: [LARTC] Off topic question - Newbie
Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 08:54:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4292EBB9.1030702@pbltd.net> (raw)


Hi Guys,

Apologies for the off topic question here.

I have been trying to find out if its possible to zero the counters in 
the ifconfig listing per interface on a linux box.  I have read that 
this can only be done if you pull down the interface, unload the driver 
and reload.

Can I make a request to someone either writing the kernel or maybe its 
the driver developers for the lan cards to make this available for 
debugging purposes.  I find it frustrating when I am trying to monitor 
collisions/errors etc from the command line  on remote systems without 
interfering with the interface.

I guess my question is who should I ask (wish list) for this. Kernel 
developers or the driver writers for the associated lan card?

BTW: I have been following the Skype pattern threads and will be testing 
shortly once my collegue gets an iptables built and working.

Gary
