[BUG] Netspeed show 0 when switch network interface

[slartibart70]

I just upgraded to v.2.6.0
The problem with #16 is indeed solved (nice!), but i discovered something new:

I have 2 network interfaces in the laptop,

• ethernet (enp0s31f6)
• wifi (wlp4s0)

If both of them are selected in the configuration panel, and the laptop is using only wifi, then the network speed is always zero.
Workaround: manually deselect enp0s31f6
Now the network speed of the wlan is shown correctly

I would prefer the widget handling this automatically... so if one network card doesn't deliver values, take the other one (providing values). Or, just add values of all incoming connections (if, for example, eth and wlan are working at the same time)

Could you please take a look into this?
Btw, the ksysguard applet shows the proper values as expected, so maybe it's just the widget?

Hi,
I have the exact same issue with Manjaro KDE. Do you need any kind of logs?

Same here with version 2.7.1 and Manjaro KDE. I just installed the before mentioned Netspeed Widget: when I select all 3 network interfaces I do see dl/ul rates in this widget.

Ok, I think i have progress to that issue. I have try with sharing net with my phone so i have this issue :

1. The name of interface in settings is not always right. Eg: when we use share connection with phone, that name usb0 but widget return something like enp0s20f0u5. This is an issue because i cant found any way to "link" usb0 to enp0s20f0u5 i never see usb0 outside of libksysguard
2. When we toggle connections like in my case between ethernet and usb (phone), the old sensors is no longer exist (in "System Monitor") .

So for confirm things (@slartibart70 @vfauth @aluedtke7 and @hunabku94) :

• could you try with last version (v2.9.1+) to check if that is fixed ?
• could you provides this information :
  • KDE Plasma version
  • KDE Framework version
  • Network interfaces (with ip -o link show (only 2nd column, because that also out mac address))

Additionally, I'm experiencing the problem that if I also select the wwan interface (I often keep the 4G modem disabled in my system) the netspeed data remains at 0 kbps even if the wifi interface is exchanging data.

It only works if I deselect the wwan interface from the option, but then I can't monitor the data I exchange when I 'm on the go and I turn on the modem.

Hello,
I have found the solution for this very old issue with that project https://github.com/dfaust/plasma-applet-netspeed-widget.
So i think once 3.0 is released i will backport the fix to 2.11.

Sorry for very long waiting about that issue.
