Setting up vnstat for Bubba|2 WiFi

My Bubba|2 WiFi is also my router & firewall connected to broadband cable modem and I'm setting up vnstat which shows data for eth0 and complains there's not enough data to show eth1 (command line vnstat).

Using netstat -i it looks like devices br0 (apparently aka wlan0) and eth0 are in fact the internal and internet network devices - not eth0 and eth1 according to the Excito Wiki (on setting up vnstat). Device eth1 is listed but with negligable traffic, so I presume that vnstat should be set up to monitor eth0 for internet and br0 (or wlan0) for internal/wireless lan, which I have now done.

I'm not confident enough to update the Wiki on this so thought it best to post here. If you know about the other devices listed by netstat -i please describe in a follow up.

If your box is built as a standard config, the eth0 is your external interface, eth1 is your internal LAN interface and br0 is the WiFi interface.

If you are only using WiFi, then I would expect eth1 to have virtually no traffic.

I would set up monitoring on br0 as well for a while using my how-to as a guide and see what is going on. I am monitoring all of them on mine, as I use eth1 and br0/wlan0
