Well, after pinging through ppp, lo: gets the bytes and ppp0: gets the
packets. Somehow, this just doesn't seem that terribly right to me. I
don't have the C coding experience to go track it down in the bytecounting
code in drivers/net/core (whatever), so I'll ask that someone please tell
me if they fix this problem, know of a patch, or anything else.
I am unsubscribed from the mailing list due to traffic, so please CC: me
with any replies. Thank you.
