[TriLUG] Reset conuters on eth interface

[Jeff Bollinger]

Does anyone know how to reset the counters on a particular ethernet 
interface?  For example,

ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:04:75:B0:07:14
           BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:7664356 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:1 frame:0
           TX packets:6424 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
           RX bytes:1089057890 (1038.6 Mb)  TX bytes:405296 (395.7 Kb)
           Interrupt:9 Base address:0x7880

How can I zero out the "RX bytes" and the "TX bytes" portions above?

Thanks,
Jeff
