xircom_tulip_cb reports wrong stats in /proc/net/dev

[Alessandro Suardi]

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

    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,
