Description chkno 2003-07-22 01:21:36 UTC
Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]
OS:          FreeBSD (i386) release 4.8-PRERELEASE

On FreeBSD, the Network:Interfaces:*:*:Data sensors report total number of bytes transfered since boot (looping at 2^32) instead of bytes/sec.

More strange behavior.  As if its getting two sets of readings which alternate. 
 
A screenshot is worth a thousand words:

CVS commit by fawcett: 

Patch from Markus Brueffer to fix:

bug:47710:
It wasn't the use of sysctl that causes the problems, but how the data returned was used

The wishlist part of this bug should be filed as a separate item, I will mail the submitter to do this.


bug:61512
behaviour is now correct
