# Known Issues (To be fixed soon!)
The extension may not work if any wifi interface is present. I am working on this, but it is actually harder
than expected. In the meantime, set `URxvt.cdmn.caption-order` to only contain your labels for cpu, disk and memory.
If you did not change the defaults, this would be `URxvt.cdmn.caption-order: CPU,DISK,RAM`. Network gauges
will be missing, but anything else should work.
Wifi interfaces are being ignored for now. It is astonishingly hard to query the max bitrate for wifi interfaces
because this information is not available through sysfs or procfs. In addition, commands like iwlist or iwfonfig are
not reliable. Calling iw would work but it requires root privileges. Netlink and nl80211 are the other way to go but
require a lot of knowledge I do not have, yet. And frankly I would only switch one requirement (root privilege) with
another dependency (tree). For now I will go with calling iw but I hope I will find a better solution later on ...

# Installation
Install urxvt with `sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode-256color`. **Make sure the version is 9.22. Anything else may
