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.
