Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
The 2.6.22 kernels overreport the amount of transmitted data by at least
a factor of 100. Even pinging makes the gnome network monitor report
around 100 kbytes/sec of outbound network activity. ifconfig claims that
I've transmitted 4 gigabytes outbound over the last four hours, which is
clearly ludicrous.
This is with a Broadcom wireless card using the bcm43xx driver on amd64.
The reported amount of inbound data seems reasonable. This error did not
occur with the 2.6.20 kernels in Feisty. I have not checked the wired
interface yet to see if it exhibits the same problem.
** Affects: linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu)
