Bug#641590: bwm-ng: Miscalculation with default 0.5s timeout

[Volker Gropp]

Hi,

this issue is probably related to the kernel interface driver. I noticed 
this with some drivers which update the values only once in a second. 
Therefore i don't see a chance to fix this in bwm-ng unless changing the 
timeout to 1s


Regards Volker

Bug#641590: bwm-ng: Miscalculation with default 0.5s timeout

[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Package: bwm-ng
Version: 0.6-3
Severity: normal

Hi!

There is one annoying thing with bwm-ng: it shows the wrong bandwidth
with its default 0.500s timeout (see:
http://people.debian.org/~naoliv/misc/bwm-ng.ogv)

When playing the video see that the default timeout is 0.500s. Note
that it keeps switching between 0 KB/s and ~1700 KB/s (this value is twice
the real bandwidth usage)
When increasing the timeout to 1s it displays the correct bandwidth.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson
