wmwifi: Display interface/essid in 2-second intervals

Base the decision to display either the interface name or essid
on a time interval rather than how many times the update() function
is called. The time interval is chosen to be 2 seconds.

The old logic would swap the display after update() was called
50 times. If 'interval' between updates is a sane value around 1 second,
it would take 50 seconds to swap the name on display.
