The network module displays information about the current network connections.

Config

Addressed by network

option	typeof	default	description
interface	string		Use the defined interface instead of auto detection.Accept wildcard.
interval	integer	60	The interval in which the network information gets polled (e.g. signal strength).
family	string	ipv4	The address family that is used for the format replacement {ipaddr} and to determine if a network connection is present.
format	string	{ifname}	The format, how information should be displayed.This format is used when other formats aren't specified.
format-ethernet	string		This format is used when a ethernet interface is displayed.
format-wifi	string		This format is used when a wireless interface is displayed.
format-linked	string		This format is used when a linked interface with no ip address is displayed.
format-disconnected	string		This format is used when the displayed interface is disconnected.
format-alt	string		On click, toggle to alternative format
