I'm interested if anyone is running an alternative conky setup....specifically one that can auto switch between wlan0 and eth0 as the connect becomes active short of displaying both.

I'm thinking if I put a script into if-up.d I could check the network adaptor and do a sed on the .conkyrc file replacing eth0 with wlan0 or vice versa depending on which adaptor just came up. 

Does anyone know where the adaptor picked for the lxde network monitor is saved in settings?   I'd like to change it to suit the active adaptor but not sure where the information is saved.

The one I'm debating is this one:



Save the following as .conkyrc in your home directory after backing up the default one to .conkyrc.old
