network state disconnected, even when connected

[kevinoid]

With waybar 0.9.5 or master (cb1c7ea) on Debian testing with Linux 5.11, if a network interface is brought up after waybar has started, it shows the format for state disconnected even after the interface has been configured. To demonstrate, using the configuration:

{
  "modules-right": [
    "network"
  ],
  "network": {
    "format": "{ifname}: {ipaddr}/{cidr}",
    "format-disconnected": "{ifname}: Disconnected"
  }
}

On a machine with wireless interface (wlp3s0) initially disabled by soft rfkill (nmcli radio wifi on) and a wired interface (enp0s25) initially connected:

1. Run waybar --config config.
   Waybar correctly displays enp0s25: 192.168.0.2/24.
2. Bring down enp0s25 (e.g. nmcli device disconnect enp0s25).
   Waybar correctly displays enp0s25: Disconnected.
3. Bring up enp0s25 (e.g. nmcli device connect enp0s25).
   Waybar still incorrectly displays enp0s25: Disconnected.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help troubleshot.

Thanks,
Kevin

Related to one of #999 or #816 or #388 maybe?

Good catch. Looks like a duplicate of #388 to me. Sorry for the noise.

No worries. I was looking into this too and found a bunch of them. Just wanted to see if they were all related/the same issue.
