Eth0 is not connected and a lot of space is wasted for it.

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Most users have at least two network interfaces (eth0 and wlan0).
Most of the times, they are connected using only one of them.
Networkmanager, draws graphs for all enabled sensors.

At home, I use wif and in the office I use wired connection.
Issue is if I enable both sensors, I will always get an empty graph. For example, if Im home using Wifi, plasmoid always draws a whole empty graph for eth0.
If Im at office and using ethernet, wlan0's graph is always empty and wasted.
This specially becomes an issue when I use the applet in panel and it wastes my precious panel space.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add a network monitor applet.
Leave one of your network devices unconnected,

Actual Results:  
You'll get an empty graph for each unconnected device.

Expected Results:  
Plasmoid doesnt draw any graph for not-connected network devices.

Confirmed. Its more a wish than a bug, though (although one I'd like to see happening).

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!

Nate Graham
