what I was looking for! for this type of monitor, the main thing is to have numeric values, graphics look good but not very useful.
Some suggestions:
- with this layout (one info per line)
eth0
0B/s
0B/s
I've no width problem ;)
- Why don't add the capability to display the IP Address?
- When I try to add two plasmoids (one for eth0 and one for wlan0), each plasmoid seems to share the same config file, so not allowing to use more than one plasmoid in the same time.

again thank you for your work

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, both widgets using same config now.I'm planing to add multi widget functionality later.

Can you please describe installation process? Which plasma-ruby packages were required?
(Some users have problems with searching right package name, which could differ from one system to another)

In Mandriva 2010.1 I had to install ruby, ruby-kde4 and ruby-qt4 (could be the same in other RPM-based distributions).

Sure. I'm using kubuntu maverick (development branch) and I've just hit the "Get New Widgets" button -> "Download new plasma widgets" -> "Install" on Yet Another Netspeed Monitor and all done. This is the output for any plasma/ruby installed packages in my system:

$ dpkg-query -W| grep -i ruby | grep -i plasma
libplasma-ruby 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu3
libplasma-ruby1.8 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu3
plasma-scriptengine-ruby 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu8

See if this helps:

If not, install ruby, ruby-kde4 and ruby-qt4.

Works fine for me.

Check "device" twice please.
This message will appear only if "device" could not be read from config file(eg: empty in config or unreadable file). Other settings are not checked.
I just can't get this message.

AFAIR this message means you need to install plasma-scriptengine-ruby
Don't know what about gentoo, but seems on my arch "kdeplasma-addons-libs" package is in charge for it.

I had the same error, solved in my kubuntu 10.04 (KDE 4.4.80 (KDE 4.5 Beta1)) by installing the package libqt4-ruby1.8 .

Hope this can help.

First, emerge kde-base/kdebindings-meta package with "ruby" flag. After that emerge kde-base/qtruby with "webkit" flag. Now reload plasma-desktop

suggestions:
- use arrows for text (up, down)
- leave off the decimal points
- add color fonts (green=down, red=up)
