Bug#461373: netspeed_applet: Monitors the wmaster0 interface when configured to monitor a connected device

[Mike Hommey]

Package: netspeed
Version: 0.14-1
Severity: normal
File: netspeed_applet

Wireless devices drivers using the mac80211 stack have a wmaster%d
supplementary interface that is used internally. This interface doesn't
have RX/TX statistics (probably because it's unconfigured, which is
intended), so when netspeed monitors it, it fails to monitor bandwidth.

It appears netspeed picks wmaster0 over wlan0 when configured to monitor
a connected device. It should prefer wlan0.
