Hi Bruce,

in Devuan minimal-live there is a simple dialog tool called
"setnet.sh" which helps with basic network setup. It's not yet in the
Devuan repos (and that's mainly my fault: wil put it in experimental
tonight), but you can get the deb package here:

http://kalos.mine.nu/setnet

Nothing special, veryt minimal, and it might not be amenable to
everyone's taste, but any feedback is welcome :)
