Subsystems (2)
I just noticed in the latest changelog that the /proc support was removed from the e1000 driver? I always found this usefull...any reason why it was deleted?

shortly lower in the changelog, you'll see that the same stats are now availble using the standard ethtool interface. I don't know whether you need a new ethtool to make sense of the e1000 stats struct.

It was nice to not have to have to dredge up the latest ethtool binary in order to see the pretty stats. However, I am glad to see more stuff supported by the ethtool interface.
