Our netstat needs fixing :-) since it appears to report the same stats for
all protocols. So it looks like FreeBSD's sees the errors too, but does not
report them. What are the errors our driver produces?

My fxp0 [granted on x86] shows up like, but it does not have any ierrs
or oerrs:
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:02:b3:3f:6a:68
		media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex,flowcontrol,rxpause,txpause)

Are you sure you are not having some hub/switch problem?
