Disclaimer

As I couldn't find any real documentation for writing gnome-shell extensions, I based my code on better or worse snippets and tutorials found on internet. Some of the sources are mentioned below:

How it works?

The extension lists available network devices using NMClient and uses GTop to get devices' statistics.

Instalation

In order to install gsettings schema, copy org.gnome.shell.extensions.net-monitor.gschema.xml file to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas [1] and invoke glib-compile-schemas on that direcory. Note that you need to be root or use sudo to do that:

# cp org.gnome.shell.extensions.net-monitor.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
# glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

The NetMonitor@zdyb.tk directory should be copied to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions or ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/:

# cp -r NetMonitor\@zdyb.tk /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions

or:

$ cp -r NetMonitor\@zdyb.tk ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
[1]Note, that paths may differ depending on distribution (eg /usr/local/share/)
