I can reproduce the issue

Same for me.

I think this happened after updating 0.11.0-3+b1 to 0.12.0-1.

It seems that this commit has removed support for the family parameter completely:

Why?!

@gustafullberg maybe?

Reproducible with waybar 0.12.0 on Tumbleweed

same for me on debian and waybar 0.12.0

As it appears, your commit seems to be breaking support for ipv4 addresses in waybar @gustafullberg.

Could you please undo it?

Why did you remove support for ipv4 in the first place?

Seems like there is an issue with interfaces having both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. We should probably add the option config["family"] back to let people limit to only ipv4 or ipv6.

I am also having this issue.

Would also be nice to control which ipv6 address is displayed, although perhaps not trivial.

It's currently showing a SLAAC address, but there's also a shorter dhcpv6 address that I would prefer to use instead.

When will this be fixed? The family option is mentioned in documentation and its very confusing and misleading

same issuue after rename net card interface

could there also be an option do display both? To have ipv4 and ipv6 as separate variables? So you could configure a tooltip that shows you both addresses (when available)?
