In "Packets reçus:2824088 erreurs:0 :0 overruns:0 frame:0" (RX packets), we have no name for the third field.

GB is also wrong; in french, "bit" is "bit", and "byte" is "octet", so GB should be Go.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here. Translation feels incomplete indeed. If we have to be thorough:

> In "Packets reçus:2824088 erreurs:0 :0 overruns:0 frame:0"

Packets -> Paquets ?
(missing field) -> dropped = non pris en compte ?

> In "TX packets:3015355 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0"

Nothing is translated at all.

> "Interruption" -> "Interruptions"
> "GB" -> "Go"

In fact, because of 2's power and 10's power, Gigabits as 2^30 bits is Gio
