Networkmanager applet without KDE or Gnome

I'm looking for a NetworkManager applet that will not depend on Gnome or KDE (GTK or Qt only is ok) to use for my awesome desktop.

Supporting NM 0.7 if possible.

Re: Networkmanager applet without KDE or Gnome

The only two applets that work with NetworkManager are Knetworkmanager and GNome-network-manager of which Gnome-network-manager is more desktop agnostic then Knetworkmanager.

What about Wicd? Pretty sure it just depends on GTK and Python, and many prefer it to NetworkManager.

Stop looking at my signature. It betrays your nature.

Well, wicd might be an alternative... I wished it would support PPP, VPNs etc. like the NM 0.7 does now.

I'm using Knetworkmanager now, the KDE3 version (it was removed from Arch but I had it installed before that), but I'd like to get rid of KDE3 apps.

Gnome-network-manager OTOH has Gnome dependencies I'd like to get rid-of too (Gconf, Orbit2).

maybe cnetworkmanager, but I don't know if it is still maintained or if it works at all. there is a git package in AUR.
