Re: [DNG] Review of documentation needed
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. golinux On 2021-09-18 16:58, Steve Litt wrote: I thought some members of the Devuan community made something superior to wicd *and* that silly dbus enthusiast network-manager.

Re: [DNG] Review of documentation needed
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 prefered network manager?
