If the 8139too has statistics counters showing if it gets
RX buffer over-runs, that would be interseting to observe.

BINGO

There may be a way to get more detailed stats out of the driver with
netstat or something, Jeff would know.


Almost all the standard stats are listed in /proc/net/dev... 8139 hardware doesn't have any NIC-specific stats besides the Rx-Missed counter either, IIRC.
