So it seems I was hasty to say that I would base my KNetspeed on the Gnome Netspeed applet. It seems they use some glibtop library which I don't want to use. I did a little more searching and eventually came across another KDE program that does a similar job, except it isn;t an applet, but rather a program that sits inthe system tray area. It seems to have a decent interface to getting network device stats though, and is portable to Linux 2.6, 2.4 and BSD4 as well as Solaris. So I will probably use that instead, for network device stats. Yay for free software!
