Or possible you want the net_device_stats. Here is how to obtain them
in the aforementioned driver once you have obtained a pointer to the
struct net_device.
/**
* e1000_get_stats - Get System Network Statistics
* @netdev: network interface device structure
*
* Returns the address of the device statistics structure.
* The statistics are actually updated from the timer callback.
**/
static struct net_device_stats *e1000_get_stats(struct net_device *netdev)
{
/* only return the current stats */
return &netdev->stats;
}
Obviously, you also should look at the file include/linux/netdevice.h
