          You probably want the Wireless plugin which comes with xmobar



          http://projects.haskell.org/xmobar/#wireless-interface-args-refreshrate



          In your config file, you'd have something like this in the commands list:



          Run Wireless "wlan0" [ "-t", "<essid>" ] 10

            If your interface is named wlan0 Then you can add this line



            Run Wireless "wlan0" [ "-t", "<essid>" ] 10



            to your commands list.



            Access it in the template string through %wlan0wi%
