system monitor fails to show network traffic for mobile broadband connections

[Michael Olberg]

I have enabled the monitoring of network traffic in the system-monitor applet. This works fine when I am online via a wired or wireless connection, but shows no traffic whatsoever when I am online using my T-mobile 3G usb-dongle. It's only a minor issue but I thought it might be worth reporting.
