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.

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

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.
