Hello, first of all, thanks for the modules, have been using them forever.

I had a question / suggestion on the net widget : as far as I can tell, the net widget currently inits its list of interfaces when Awesome starts, could/should it update it on a given frequency (lower than the rate update, obviously), or should it be left to the "end user" to add a timer that "resets" the widget when a new interface is created ?

Can attempt a PR if this makes sense for the widget.
