You also want to have the correct interface set on the wireless network in
the polybar config.
Add a [variable](https://dotdrop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config/#variables)
to the config file (with below example *home* gets the default `wlan0` value for
the variable `wifi` while *office* gets `wlp2s0`):
```yaml
variables:
wifi: "wlan0"

office:

Then you can adapt the polybar config file so that the
variable `wifi` gets correctly replaced during installation
```bash

type = internal/network
interface = {{@@ wifi @@}}

Finally you want everything installed with the *office* profile
to be logged, you thus add an action to the config file:

actions:
loginstall: "echo {{@@ _dotfile_abs_src @@}} installed to {{@@ _dotfile_abs_dst @@}} >> {0}"

When done, you can install your dotfiles using
```bash
$ dotdrop install
