For some reason my wireless always shows up as "down" in i3bar. Here's my $HOME/i3status.conf:

order += "ipv6"
order += "disk /home"
order += "run_watch DHCP"
order += "run_watch VPN"
order += "wireless wlan0"
order += "ethernet em1"
order += "volume master"
order += "battery 0"
order += "load"
order += "time"

wireless wlan0 {
        format_up = "W: (%quality at %essid) %ip"
        format_down = "W: down"
}

and ifconfig:

wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

Anything else I could try?
