Wired ethernet no traffic count

  • 772

My 1000MBit Ethernet doesn't show any traffic count anymore since reinstalling with 14.04. With 12.10 everything was fine. Neither in ifconfig nor gnome-system-monitor shows any traffic. But the Network is working fine. The wireless network is counting traffic as it should (but it's disabled now)

$ ifconfig

    This is a known bug in kernel 3.13. It will be fixed with 3.14. There is a bug report on Launchpad.

    EDIT

    Run sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-utopic to install backported kernel version 3.16. Reboot and traffic count will work again.
