* netload.c (glibtop_get_netload_s): Added implementation
for this function.
The code here is smart enough to use /proc/net/ip_acct if
IP accounting is enabled in the kernel and activated on the
requested device and /proc/net/dev if not.
To get separate statistics for received and transmitted
packets you need to use two accounting rules:
ipfwadm -A in -a -P all -W eth0
ipfwadm -A out -a -P all -W eth0
But before you activate IP accounting, please have a look
at /proc/net/dev - if if already contains byte counters,
then don't use IP accounting.
