actually, the way it's currently done is apparently
to have the if_ipackets count incremented by the driver.
to say that it's "supposed" to be handled that way would imply
that that's the correct solution to the problem, and i'm not sure
about that...
so i think saying that "it's *currently* handled by the ethernet
driver" is safer... 8-)
