Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current tooltip for the Network module provides limited functionality and isn't particularly useful. Many users would likely prefer having more insightful information, such as netstat output, directly integrated into the Network module's tooltip.

Describe the solution you'd like
Enhance the Network module by incorporating netstat output as its tooltip. Alternatively, dynamically display real-time network speeds (Ingress or Egress) alongside the module name. To maintain a minimalistic design, the higher of the two speeds could be displayed at any given moment, ensuring the module remains concise yet informative.

Below is the waybar's network module reference:

Additional context
The custom netstat module provided by Hyprpanel is too large and occupies significant screen space, which can disrupt the overall layout. Integrating netstat functionality directly into the existing Network module would be a more streamlined and efficient solution, ensuring a cleaner interface without compromising on functionality. This integration would also make better use of the existing module space while providing users with more actionable and detailed network insights.
