Bug Description

My laptop has 3 wifi interfaces at the moment. Byobu shows "11Mbps 879384%" as wifi quality which is not proper for sure.

There should be a way to select which interface to display. There is MONITORED_NETWORK variable for /usr/lib/byobu/network script so maybe similar one should be created.
