your system can only use one default route (you can set multiple, but
only the last set default one will be used as actual default), the
interface this route points to should be the one you show the icon for,
additional interfaces should be configurable through the menu (if you
change to a different default interface it should indeed change the
icon) that way you dont waste panel space for confusing information and
show the most relevant info the user needs to know about.
