Conky doesnt print any Wireless Options/Values (wireless_link_qual , wireless_link_qual_perc etc. ) on terminal

[har5ha]

Hello!

I use conky-cli to set values in my status bar (dwm tiling manager using xsetroot ). The conky-cli than comes as a package in my Distro(debian based) doesn't have "wireless" options, so I had to manually compile to get the "Wireless Options".

But for some reason, none of the "Wireless Options" work. Can somebody help me with this.

Thanks in advance!

Following don't Work :

$ conky -t '$wireless_link_qual'
0

$ conky -t '$wireless_link_qual_perc'
unk

The following works :

$ conky -t '$acpitemp' -i 1
45

conky -v
