| Summary | 0010000: netload doesn't provide bytes_in / bytes_out data for wireless devices anymore | ||||
| Description | Since most recent kernels (starting with Rocky Linux 9.6), libgtop2 doesn't provide traffic info (RX / TX bytes / packets) for wireless devices anymore, causing many tools to report no traffic (0 all the time): ifconfig wlo1: RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 3 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 netstat -i: Kernel Interface table Iface MTU RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg wlo1 1500 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 BMRU cat /proc/net/dev: Inter-| Receive | Transmit face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed wlo1: 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ip -s link show dev wlo1: RX: bytes packets errors dropped missed mcast 0 0 0 3 0 0 TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns 0 0 0 0 0 0 All those commands were still displaying the traffic correctly in Rocky Linux 9.5 (the latest kernel-5.14.0-503.40.1.el9_5.x86_64). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Try the commands as above for your wireless device, with the system boot in Rocky Linux 9.6 kernel first, and in 9.5 (or older) kernel after. | ||||
| Additional Information | I am quite sure it happens in RHEL as well, but can not verify (have Rocky Linux only). | ||||
