Subject: /proc/net/dev with tg3 and 2.4.19

Hi,

With tg3 from 2.4.19 the Recieve/Transmit-bytes entries grow to 4294967295,
but then stay at this value. This isn't the expected behaviour, is it? All
other net drivers will jump back to zero and count up again, won't they?
Is there a patch available?
Otherwise 2.4.19's tg3 seems pretty stable to me, as it's running since 2002
Oct. 7th with no problems...

That's fixed in later versions...

where can I get later versions for 2.4.19?

You can't, really, because all newer tg3 versions are napi-only drivers
for 2.4.20/2.5.x.
