Yes I'm back with another one of my questions . I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the search function on this forum sucks. No matter what I put in it to search for, it tells me the words are too common and therefore ignored.
One thing that has bothered me since I started using Zorin, but has never been a big deal until now, is the lack of a gui for Network Manager. I'm assuming the attached screenshot is network manager. I've been using several different networks lately, and I have been having problems with my own as my ISP's modem is a cheap paperweight and won't keep a connection. But I log on, or lose the connection, I can't find a way to get it to reconnect. Every time I've went somewhere new and tried to connect, instead of N-M detecting the wireless, and giving me the option to connect, I've had to go into the panel "start menu", and click on "connect to", then type in all the information about the connection. I've used Ubuntu/Unity & Gnome, Kubuntu, and Zorin, and all the others had a good gui for N-M, but I hate Zorin's.
Am I missing something, or is there a way I can add a gui, or even change to wicd or one of the other wired/wireless manager's?
