Usage

Overview
netload displays the load on an interface without using the interface. netload simply accesses kernel statistics.
netload uses ncurses to display the information, and the use of a gauge to show the network load. It shows the absolute load, relative load, and other statistics, as well as the maximum load on the system so far.
Interface is the name of your NIC, ppp, etc.. as shown in ifconfig. Typical names are "ppp0" "eth0" or "lo" (the latter is for localhost).
