Default Xubuntu - Network Monitor for GPRS connection


for internet i am using GPRS connection through data cable on N70 in Xubuntu 6.10
everything is working fine but there is not any network monitor through which i can see data transfer status or i am connected or not. i have to see phone indicaions in that case. default network monitor doesnt seem working. there is one field for Network device for which i dont know what to fill

if i leave it blank, nothing happens. if i fill anything the error is
Code:
Xfce4-Netload-Plugin: Error in initalizing:
Interface was not found.
earlier in ubuntu i was using bluetooth dialup, there was modem monitor which shows whether you are connected or not, though it was not showing data transfer.
