Even when I'm not using my internet connection, I see varying network usage in the network monitor applet in Fedora 14. So I decided to use nethogs to monitor process IDs of the involved processes.

I fail to comprehend which process/service/application is trying to access the internet/network on my WiFi.

Here's a screenshot of nethogs:

I understand that Firefox is in there, as I was using it when taking the screenshot, but what do the first two or three lines mean in the PROGRAM field, with data rates 0.015 and 0.013 KB/sec?

Well, the first connection is from a highport to a highport by the look of it, which is often a signature of a game or torrent. But the pid is 0, which can't be right. Did you try running as root to see if you get a meaningful pid (>1) – Paul Oct 9 '11 at 11:27
