Is there a manual/datasheet/some other resource that explains what do all these counters in ethtool -S <interface> mean? Some of them are self-explainatory, some aren't...
I'm taking them from e1000e source code (ethtool.c).
EDIT: just found and looking at this document, seems to be useful (p.271 - register descriptions, with links to explanation). Still, I'd welcome your insight.
