If I install with a generic desktop, then "icewm" is installed. But NetworkManager is not installed unless I select that. A user can install nm-applet. It does not need to be part of the basic install. Similarly, the file ".icewm/startup" is a user file, not a system file. So the user has to decide whether to start "nm-applet". And that probably won't work unless you also install and start a suitable polkit-agent. I do have a system with only a generic desktop. It is installed in an external drive intended as repair/utility appliance. And I did actually install "NetworkManager" there because it doesn't require explicit configuration of the network device (usually wired). But I don't expect to need "nm-applet". If I really need to use WiFi, then I can probably manage with "nmtui" or "nmcli", both of which are installed with "NetworkManager". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
