Network history graph drops to zero at the moment of rx/tx bytes variable overflow

Created attachment 210871 [details] 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.
