bge & kstat counters

Hi,

I just noticed the following:

Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis Queue
lo0 8232 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 885409 0 885409 0 0 0
bge0 1500 172.23.7.0 172.23.7.1 0 0 0 0 0 0

All the counters of the bge interface are still zero - although there
is some activity on the network. It seems the kstat counters aren't
updated:

% kstat -n bge0
module: bge instance: 0
name: bge0 class: net
brdcstrcv 0
brdcstxmt 0
collisions 0
crtime 66.537377628
ierrors 0
ifspeed 100000000
ipackets 0

oerrors 0
opackets 0
opackets64 0
rbytes 0
rbytes64 0
snaptime 534806.471186194
unknowns 35

Is this in any way related, that the bge driver has been converted to
GLDv3:

New features in Solaris 10 1/06:
.. GLDv3: High performance, feature rich and easy-to-use framework for
developing network device drivers. Solaris OS currently includes three
GLD v3-based drivers: bge, e1000g and the 10 Gigabit xge driver.

I found the following bug description:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6270191

But why has this bug been closed? "Not a bug" - seems clearly a bug to
me.
