I'm using a modified version of Superkarambas CompactMonitor. It is written
for Linux I think, but easily adaptable for freebsd.
All I did was moddify the
~/.kde/share/apps/superkaramba/themes/CompactMonitor/CompactMonitor.theme
file :
text x=435 y=50 sensor=network device="vr0" format="%in KB/s" decimals=1
text x=370 y=50 value="Download"
text x=570 y=50 sensor=program program="netstat -ibh | grep Link#1 |
awk '{print $7}'" align=right interval=1000
text x=435 y=65 sensor=network device="vr0" format="%out KB/s" decimals=1
text x=370 y=65 value="Upload"
text x=570 y=65 sensor=program program="netstat -ibh | grep Link#1 |
awk '{print $10}'" align=right interval=1000
Add
graph x=370 y=30 sensor=network device="vr0" format="%out" w=200 h=15
color=255,127,127 interval=1000 max=100
graph x=370 y=30 sensor=network device="vr0" format="%in" w=200 h=15
color=127,230,180 interval=1000 max=100
if you want to add a graphic representation and change the "vr0" according to
your (ethernet) device.
It works for me with kde 3.5.8 on 7.0-stable.
