Thanks, it works! The changed library dependencies seem to be working for me. Applied as 766a22fb4d1, preceded by a switch to https URLs (I had to rebase your patch to adopt the changed home-page link text). > The Makefile runs "setcap cap_net_admin=ep > $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin/i3status)", which wasn't working in the prior > version, either.

For me, it shows the link speed: 1000 Mbits. Should it dynamically show the bandwidth usage? In any case, I tried making it a setuid binary, but that didn't seem to create a change, and it's probably a bad idea anyways, since they only ask for the cap_net_admin. Is i3status designed to be setuid? I don't know how to set just this capability in Guix. Advice appreciated!
