For the network widget you need to update the NetworkAdapter config variable to the id of your network card. The possible values can be found by ls /sys/class/net. Common values include e.g. eno0, ... for lan; wlan0, wlp2s0, ... for wlan, lo for loopback(You probably don't want that). A guide on how to change the config can be found in the Readme.

For the package module, you need to install pacman-contrib if you are on Arch. Then it should work. For other distros you need to write the script/command yourself. The config variable for that is called CheckPackagesCommand. The shell command should echo the number of packages that are not up to date.

Thanks for guiding me, Tho I would suggest, if the network module could have an option for both ethernet and wifi toggle, so that we can just switch b/w them flawlessly.
