Comment 1 for bug 798649

Could you try to install the beta version from http://mh21.de/temp/indicator-multiload_0.3-0~43~15_amd64.deb?

I don't think this version will solve your problems (yet), but you can start it with "indicator-multiload -v" to get some information on the processing that is going on behind the scenes.

This should give you a dump of all recognized network devices. Could you post an example of the resulting output?
