The 4500/4700 fills in the proper values for 10 Mbit ethernets.

For serials (NP-4T) it returns *completely bogus* values (not "not
implemented" or "0" but the last ethernet you've queried), which is
crap by whatever definition of anything you apply.

ATM subif counter64's get cleared to 0 when you do "clear count atm2/0",
which is also a very stupid thing to do. When you delete and recreate
an ATM subif, its counter32s will start out as 0, while the counter64 will
start with the value it had before deletion.

Cisco and interface counters. Ohmygod. Must-stop-ranting-now.
