Network manager was another thing I tried, but if it was installed the
installer did not create a menu item to launch it. 'No problem,' I
thought; I'll just launch it from the command line. But that failed
also, because every command I tried failed with 'no such file.' I found
several command suggestions on the net, but they also all failed.

I might have been able to find it in Synaptic, but by then I was too
frustrated to bother. A program is pretty useless if the user can't
launch it.
