Hi All,

 

    I'm working on omapl137 board, after the network driver gets loaded,

If I try to see the stats through the ifconfig -v option, the stats are
not 

getting updated properly(input and output both 0 packets). 

But if I run the nicinfo, I can see the stats updated correctly.

 

Actually its an io-net driver, io-pkt-v4 loads it using the devnp-shim,

any idea why this behaviour ? is it the shim layer causing the 

problem or with the io-pkt am I missing something,

Thanks in advance. 

 

Here is the sequence:
