Incremental patch.
- don't reset rx_packets stats when telling device "up".

TODO:
- figure out what should be MTU value. Currently it is set
   to 1500-14. I guess that 14 here means eth header size, but
   this has no logical explanation...
- do we really need ethtool support? It always reports that
   link is up... The only useful information is driver name,
   version and USB path... Is it worth it?
