Setting up vnstat for Bubba|2 WiFi
Posted: 31 May 2010, 11:26
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.
