If you use ethernet instead of AirPort, you'll have to change en1 to the interface you need (probably en0). This could also be used to monitor your bluetooth speeds as well. To set this up, first create a file (I named mine inout.sh) and save it wherever you like. Insert the following code and save it: After saving your file, switch to GeekTool, click the New Entry button, give it a name (Net Activity), and set the pop-up on the right to Shell. On the Command tab, set the command to something like this: sh /path/to/inout.sh, replacing /path/to/ with the path to the folder containing the inout.sh file. I left the Refresh setting at 10, and so GeekTool updates my Kb/sec transfer rates every 10 seconds. It can be changed to whatever you want, though.
[robg adds: I tested this, and it works as described.]
