I found that these commits (to do real time stats update) are in
2.6.25-rc1, not 2.6.24, it would be great if you were able to try a
newer kernel version to verify that these fixes work for you.

an ethtool -C parameter implementation to support modifiable polling
frequency for the other stats is in progress.
