Installing NetworkManager

[kayakerkey]

I installed NetworkManger on DSL according to these instructions:
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/...-23-runit/ geometry dash
I worked fine, but the nm-applet appeared without the usual icons in the tray.
When started in a terminal, nm-applet complained:
Could not find the icon 'nm-device-wired'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases
Although the package hicolor-icon-theme is present in DSL the nm-device icons are missing. After a reinstall of the package:
sudo apt install --reinstall hicolor-icon-theme
the icons show in the tray.

why can't i use the 'nm-device-wired' icon

The reason you might not be able to use the 'nm-device-wired' icon on the Damn Small Linux (DSL) forum could be related to Icon Theme Availability. The 'nm-device-wired' icon is part of the NetworkManager icon set, which is typically available in modern Linux distributions. If Damn Small Linux (DSL) is using an older or minimal set of libraries and icons, it may not have access to the same icon theme. DSL is known for its minimalistic approach, so the required icon set might not be present in its default installation.
