A GUI is provided for setting up wireless connections in Raspbian with the Raspberry Pi Desktop. I'm having trouble finding information about it because I don't know what it is called.
Does it have a name? Is there any more technical documentation about it anywhere that I can read? Where can I see its source code?
I'm only interested in Raspbian Buster on the Raspberry Pi platform.
To answer my own question, this is an lxpanel plugin called lxplug-network and the source code is found here:
https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/lxplug-network
It is based on 'Network Configurator' (a.k.a. dhcpcd-ui) by Roy Marples which is found here:
I think for a period Raspbian shipped with wicd to configure WiFi.
If anyone is looking for other connection managers:
wicd called wicd-curses.nmcli is the reference NetworkManager command line interface.nm-applet is the panel tool found on most heavier weight distributions like Ubuntu for interfacing with NetworkManager.
