Some help if you can,,

I have a network card plugged into a cable modem and a second Nic plugged into my LAN.. I want to set something up so i can see how many data is being downloaded. ifconfig shows the packets is there something else

hi...

try iptraf... it's simple. you can find it among the contributed modules...

greetinx, thorsten

There is a application wich is called IP-Traffic, this will show the size of the data up & downloaded over a selected NIC.
Send me an e-mail so i can send you the file, there is only one problem I forgot how i've installed it. If you're a more familiar with Linux you'll get it running.
The package works for me.

Download and install the following RPM's, the instalation might not work 100% but with these RPM's I've installed IPTRAF.

GCC:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gcc-2.96-54.i386.rpm

Make:

No need to build!!!!

Just rpm -U iptraf-2.3.1-1.i386.rpm  once you download the rpm from

ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/RPMS/i386-RH7.0/iptraf-2.3.1-1.i386.rpm

It works ok in 4.1.1 e-smith. Same Kernel in 4.1.2 so should stil be ok.

It is a great little program. It can be run in daemon mode, and logs in
/var/log/iptraf  though they grow quickly!!!
Do a google search for the iptraf home page, there is a very good doc there on how to use it.

Sorry for the inconvinience but Michael K is right I've tried the RPM he mentioned on a new E-smith server and I works perfectly.
