Hi Mickael,

For battery state and volume control, I use Vicious library (
https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Vicious)
I use it also for clock but I implemented calendar manually, based on the
work of Vincent Bernat (
https://github.com/AlexisBRENON/awesome-configuration/blob/master/backend/datetime/calendar.lua
).

For wifi and more generally network controller, I never found anything as
good as NetworkManager with nm-applet. I tried all in this list
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications/Internet#Network_managers
.

I didn't use any easy drive mounter, as I don't have many external drives
or USB key. Only one good rule in /etc/fstab a folder named /mnt/external,
and I only have to type "mount /etc/external" to mount my USB drive when
needed.

Hope my experience can help.

Kind regards,
Alexis
