I noticed my network usage status disappeared recently, tracked it down to the way /proc/net/dev is parsed.

The current code that reads in a loop into variables is caught out by the lack of space to separate the interface and the first number (receive bytes). I've had a go at fixing it using grep, cut and awk instead. Also updated ec2_cost to match (but don't have any way to test) and removed the unused OIFS and tx1 variables in network, hope that's alright.
