Screenshot of network graph dropping to zero when 'tx bytes' is over 2³² (179.33 KB, image/png)

Screenshot of network graph dropping to zero when 'tx bytes' is over 2³²

When rx/tx bytes variable reaches the maximum value, network graph shows it as if data transmission dropped to zero.

This happens every couple of minutes on 32-bit kernel/100Mbps connection setup :)

I suggest adding a workaround to approximate transmission speed at the moment after the one closest to 2^32 bytes (other value on 64-bit systems, I guess).

Or just add a couple of lines of comments about it to the help/wiki pages.
