[SOLVED]: Network-Manager nm-tray

[Member to-the-moon]

Network-manager-gnome and nm-tray
Help please
Network manager from antix 21, network connections and adding network connections are GRAYED-OUT
I have tried changing

NetworkManager to manage an interface, that interface must not be configured under /etc/network/interfaces.

[ubuntu@desktop network] cat interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Notice that eth0 does not show up; it is managed by NetworkManager. And because of this, it can now be edited with nm-connection-editor, the GUI.

Of course, NetworkManager must be configured to manage your eth0 connection. Follow Sumant’s solution on this page on how to configure managed=true
)

I have tried above with no avail, and running nm-connection-editor with ROOT to no avail as well

Hi to-the-moon, it worked on antiX19 (Debian buster) to install the network-manager, but Debian removed the service init script for network-manager on Debian bullseye (antiX21).
Might possible to copy the /etc/init.d/network-manager script from an antiX19 version to antiX21.
See here

What are your reasons not to use one of the wifi options offered in antiX21, ceni or connman ?
