Check the name of the interface, and check the first line of the raw 
data file.  There should be a column for KB/s for that interface.  For 
example, from orcallator.cfg:

# Interface bits per second for 100 Mbit interfaces.
plot {
title                   %g Interface Bits Per Second: $1
source                  orcallator
#data                   1024 * 8 * 
((?:(?:be)|(?:dmfe)|(?:eri)|(?:hme)|(?:iprb)|(?:qfe)|(?:znb))\d+)InKB/s
data                    1024 * 8 * 
((?:(?:be)|(?:dmfe)|(?:eri)|(?:hme)|(?:iprb)|(?:znb))\d+)InKB/s
data                    1024 * 8 * $1OuKB/s
line_type               area
line_type               line1
legend                  Input
legend                  Output
y_legend                Bits/s
data_min                0
data_max                100000000
href

}


So, there's be, dmfe, etc.  I thought E1000's used hme0, but it's been a 
long time.  In any case, if your interface name is missing, just follow 
the pattern and add it to the first 'data' line.  E.g., if your network 
interface was lai0, the data line would be:

data                    1024 * 8 * 
((?:(?:be)|(?:dmfe)|(?:eri)|(?:hme)|(?:iprb)|(?:znb)*|(?:lai)*)\d+)InKB/s


Hope that helps,
