Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

In command palette dock, make it automatically identify my network device and start to show stats(sending and recieving speed of network).Everytime after starting my lap i need to do it manually by clicking on it and then skipping every other adapter till i get my current networking adaptor[its like old sequential access, boring:)] ... so i guess it will be more convenient if it automaticaly identify and select what i use for netwoking.

Research direction

Start by locating the command palette dock implementation that handles manual network-adapter selection, then reproduce the current skip-through behavior. Done means the dock automatically selects the adapter currently used for networking after startup and shows sending and receiving speeds.
