xosview trips over /sys/class/net/bonding_masters

[Robert Sander]

When trying to start xosview on a server with a bonding network device xosview stops with the error:

Can not open file : /sys/class/net/bonding_masters/statistics/rx_bytes

It looks like xosview only expects symlinks to network device in /sys/class/net/ and automatically assumes they have subdirectories.

/sys/class/net/bonding_masters is a file that contains the device names of the bonding devices and not a symlink. Xosview needs to take that into account.

xosview 1.16 on Debian 8.5 jessie does not have this issue.

There seems to be a fix now:
