Panel Network Monitor

I am using Manjaro running Xfce 4.12 and I put the Network Monitor in the panel and it doesn't work. When I open it up, there is nothing in the space for "Network device". What goes in the blank space of Network device?

The name of your network device.

ip link

...should help. Example:

$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp0s25: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1280 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether a0:2b:b8:2e:6f:f7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlo1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether c4:d9:87:50:9b:05 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

...my loopback is "lo", my wired is "enp0s25" and my wireless is "wlo1".

Re: Panel Network Monitor

Yes, enp4s0.
What happens of you hover your mouse over the plugin. Do you get stats updated in the tooltip? If so, maybe its a theme issue where the colours aren't properly being displayed.
