[BusyBox] Ethernet stat in ifconfig ?

[Jean-Christophe Dubois]

Hello

The old busybox (0.60.5) was able to fill in the stat portion of the
Ethernet device in the "ifconfig" command. The new (1.00-rc3) seems
unable to retrieve any stat. My kernel is 2.6.7 (ppc) and my glibc is
2.3.3. The old busybox was compiled against glibc 2.2.3.

Anybody else seing the same behavior? Did I forget something or is there
a bug?

Thanks

JC
