[Bug 1292509] Re: Missing statistics for `tx_bytes`, `tx_packets`, `rx_bytes` and `rx_packets` since Ubuntu 13.10
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.14 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.

Title:
Missing statistics for `tx_bytes`, `tx_packets`, `rx_bytes` and
`rx_packets` since Ubuntu 13.10
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I am using Ubuntu 13.10 and have an Ethernet connection to connect to
the Internet.
If I set my ISP username and password in router-cum-modem (ADSL)
itself (i.e.; I get connected to internet automatically by just
powering on my router); I don't get the information about `tx_bytes`,
`tx_packets`, `rx_bytes` and `rx_packets` anymore.
If I don't put the username and password in router; and instead use
`sudo pppoeconf` to configure my connection by providing my ISP
username and password; I get the information about `tx_bytes`,
`tx_packets`, `rx_bytes` and `rx_packets` as expected.
It is probably because of this bug, that Gnome System Monitor doesn't
update Network History as reported earlier:
