The Intel igc Ethernet driver does not provide any statistical info in /proc/net/dev: $ cat /proc/net/dev Inter-| Receive | Transmit face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed ... enp6s0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... But this interface is used by many tools for showing network utilization. Nevertheless some statistical counters are available via ethtool: $ ethtool -S enp6s0 NIC statistics: rx_packets: 87554 tx_packets: 39364 rx_bytes: 122526287 tx_bytes: 3043976 rx_broadcast: 397 tx_broadcast: 4 rx_multicast: 2377 tx_multicast: 84 multicast: 2377 ...

I can confirm this bug.
Is commit 6b7ed22ae4c9 ("igc: Fix returning wrong statistics") fixing this issue?
In Debian, affected user confirmed the fix in https://bugs.debian.org/970722 .
Patch arrived in Fedora and seems to work. Many thanks! Setting to RESOLVED.
