I suspect the solution here would be to get the newer upstream version of netspeed packaged and into the archives. See bug #268727 "new upstream version of netspeed applet 0.15" -- netspeed applet will not measure wired https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335507 You received this bug notifi

For reference, I've discovered a linux-netdev mailing-list article describing this and an underlying change to the way the IFF_RUNNING flag is used from March 2006. http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=12292253463&w=2 commit b00055aacdb172c05067612278ba27265fcd05ce Author: Stefan Rompf Date:

Well there is the evidence that there's something unusual on that system unrelated to netspeed. You can clearly see that according to the network IOCTL flags, etho isn't running (IFF_RUNNING). So, what's the PCI [vendor:product] of the network device, which driver is managing it (lspci -vvnn -d .

I want to test the flags being returned by the IOCTL call to the socket. I've written a minimal C program to do that. You can either compile the attached source or, if you'd prefer, I can provide a binary. Try it on all your network interfaces. gcc -o socket-flags socket-flags.c for dev in /sys/c

This issue may be related to upstream libgtop re-working the struct glibtop_netload http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565096 and netspeed applet not using the latest upstream source (see bug #268727). -- netspeed applet will not measure wired https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335507 You r

I've uploaded a test debug package to my PPA for you to gather more information. To capture the debug information you need to use a 'trick' which I'll detail here. 1. Install the package 2. Kill (don't remove) the running version but *don't* press any button the resulting "reload applet" button!

The 'greyed out' Network device combo-box is due to: gtk_widget_set_sensitive(applet->network_device_combo, !applet->auto_change_device); The setting is controlled by the "Always monitor a connected device, if possible". Un-ticking this option will enable the Network device combo- box. -- netsp
