Statistics collection for TX no longer works

Hi,

I noticed when upgrading to KDE 4.2.2, the network monitor no longer showed 
outgoing bandwidth. I blamed this on the app first, but after installing 
net/bmon the problem is there as well.

It uses int mib[] = {CTL_NET, PF_ROUTE, 0, 0, NET_RT_IFLIST, 0}; to read 
if_msghdr structs and ifm->ifm_data.ifi_obytes.

netstat has the same problem:
            input          (em0)           output
   packets  errs      bytes    packets  errs      bytes colls
       199     0      63203        117     0          0     0
       193     0      59995         97     0          0     0
       185     0      63023        105     0          0     0
       200     0      60642        104     0          0     0
       199     0      63102        100     0          0     0
       215     0      62733         94     0       2891     0

That 2891 is a mystery, all the while I was copying a file remotely at 
~150KB/s.

I saw some net related entries in UPDATING but they make so little sense to 
me, I shouldn't be affected by it ;). Kernel and world were build/upgraded in 
sync, make delete-old and delete-old-libs done so I should be in compliance 
with those entries anyway (20090415 and 14 entries).
