I was able to run nm-connection-editor without the panel. It allows me
to edit wireless connections provided I run it as root. To launch it
from a ctwm menu I can use sudo. That's a good start. For some reason
"sudo /bin/nm-connection-editor &"
does not work in a ctwm menu, but the following does.
"xterm -geom 10x2 -e sudo /bin/nm-connection-editor &"
I also have nm-tool, which reports current states, and I've just
discovered nmcli, though it's not clear whether those will be of any
use.
Thanks.
