Title:
Missing statistics for `tx_bytes`, `tx_packets`, `rx_bytes` and
`rx_packets` since Ubuntu 13.10

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:
