Netload does not automatically select the active interface like ethernet wifi or usb tethering . This causes means a lot to me as i researched myself but could not found any answers . The "network device " field is empty when seen in "properties" of netload plugin. However as soon as i type in the network device manually the netload starts to work immediately. Please make these upgrades , i am waiting.
