Hi,

I'd like to report a bug that has been introduced since the mainlining
of the NIC drivers originally in the package AUR/dkms-alx pertaining
to the above mentioned network cards.

Kernels affected: 3.10.1 - 3.10.5
All worked well for kernels <= 3.9.9

Environment in which it occurs:

kernel: >= 3.10
conky: any version (gui/cli)
NIC: Any one of the above family

conky variables that probe the NIC all return nothing or 0: eg:
upspeed, upspeedgraph, downspeed, downspeedgraph

A small discussion on the issue:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166555

Network connectivity itself is not a problem - connection works and is stable

Conky isn't the problem because it works in kernels <= 3.9.9 with dkms-alx.

Hope it can be resolved, at your convenience.

Thank you for the good work you do,

Kinley
