aitor has a network manager in his Gnuinos distribution based on
simple-netaid that edbarx put together years ago but iiuc, it is still a
wip.
KatolaZ wrote the setnet script (no GUI) but it hasn't been touched for
years: https://git.devuan.org/devuan/setnet
wicd has been the default in Xfce It is brain-dead simple and reliable.
Many users are unhappy with the remaining options. I hope that it can be
resurrected.

Thanks for responding.
wicd has indeed been removed from Chimaera. Sadly, there are reports
of frustration that the available options are not as intuitive as
wicd. However, there is hope! Someone is looking at transitioning wicd
to python3 so keep your fingers crossed.
To fill a gap, rrq has provided a "classic" networking "how-to" that
will be included in the www documentation. It is already available on
the netinstall isos:

Hello golinux.
I found a reference to a dead software used in the *Network
Configuration*
section. wicd is recommended as network manager, however it is no
longer
distributed by debian. It has been removed because it is written in
python2, and
there has been no release since 2014.
As I do not use any manager on my system, I remain unaware of a
possible
replacement. I did, however, look quickly and noticed connman which
advertize
itself as a slim and low on resources.
As a quick poll, does anybody has a preferred network manager?

Request to the Devuan community . . .
As we get closer to the Chimaera release, we'd appreciate some
feedback on whether the existing documentation listed below, which
is applicable to all releases, is still useful/accurate and should
be carried forward for use in Chimaera.
These documents were written by dev1fanboy aka chillfan who
provided updates/corrections from Jessie through Beowulf. Sadly, he
has not been seen for a very long time or responded to email
queries.
You can find the docs that need reviewing here:
