for use in Chimaera.

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
I thought some members of the Devuan community made something superior
to wicd *and* that silly dbus enthusiast network-manager.

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.

And how is any of this conversation helping Devuan sort out
documentation for the Chimaera release?
The revised list needing assessment is:

I used the devuan_chimaera_4.0.beta2_2021-09-04_amd64_desktop-live.iso

refracta installer and grub included on the live iso want EFI only (or
incorrectly detected my system as using that). Anyway, I was abl
It occurred to me after writing this, that those who switch to a
dbus-free setup probably would already have the expertise to configure
their networking, and may not be in need of a simple network-manager

Also note, it may be *pos
