xircom_tulip_cb reports wrong stats in /proc/net/dev

Happens on 2.4.1pre10 as well. On the crossed Ethernet cable to my cheap
home ne2k-pci @ 10Mbit stats are correct. /proc/net/dev is wrong, so
it doesn't matter if I use 'ifconfig' or 'ip'. Figures in "errs" are
exactly the same as "carrier" and grow for example by simply pinging a
remote host. Output of ifconfig/ip:

[asuardi@princess asuardi]$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A4:F9:19:A0
inet addr:144.24.10.49 Bcast:144.24.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

[asuardi@princess asuardi]$ ip -s link show eth0

TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns
132 2 3223 0 3223 0

The other difference in respect to my home setup is that this is DHCP,
while I set up a fixed IP address at home.

Any ideas ? Thanks in advance,
