[SOLVED] how to get a network icon in an Xfce4 panel

TimonP · 2020-01-20 17:51:01

This sounds like a question that I could have googled but I have found no icon that I can click to select a WiFi network and that connects to known networks automatically (technically not the icon but a daemon, I know).
I know it must exist because I have it on my Manjaro machine which also has an Xfce desktop.
So can you point me to a package or something like that please?
Thanks in advance

That works perfectly, thank you very much.
I saw this before but I thought it was for GNOME and wouldn't play well together with Xfce4.

Cool. Please remember to mark your thread as [Solved] by editing your first post and prepending it to the title.

Well, It may depend on which thingy are you using to connect,... nm-applet for NetworkManager, but wpa_gui for wpa_supplicant, and maybe others?

Done, sorry.

I just went ahead and installed networkmanager but good to know that there's also something for wpa_supplicant.
