You could try easynetaid as soon as it's ready for devuan (conceived as
netman a few months ago, and sopn to appear as a devuan package). At
the moment you probably still need to compile it from source. It does
not use systemd.

I'm still using xfce on my devuan system, with wicd for my wifi
manager.

Vdev is still in its final stages of development, as far as I know.
Running on developpment asd some test systems, but still being
thorougly tested on corner cases before being introduced into Devuan.
