no received bytes in /proc/net/dev

Hi everybody!

on a rh8,

I have this strange output from /proc/net/dev, without the received bytes,
but only the transmited ones. It's a wireless ethernet, someone said it
could be a driver problem.
My problem is that I can't get any bandwith status using /proc/net/dev, as
it's always at 0. Are there other places I could look for stats and use
instead? ...ofcourse it would be great to fix the /proc/net/dev, but that's
beyond my skill level...

Any, and I mean any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
THANX!
