Thanks for responding.
wicd has indeed been removed from Chimaera. Sadly, there are reports of
frustration that the available options are not as intuitive as wicd.
However, there is hope! Someone is looking at transitioning wicd to
python3 so keep your fingers crossed.
To fill a gap, rrq has provided a "classic" networking "how-to" that
will be included in the www documentation. It is already available on
the netinstall isos:

Hello golinux.
I found a reference to a dead software used in the *Network
Configuration*
section. wicd is recommended as network manager, however it is no
longer
distributed by debian. It has been removed because it is written in
python2, and
there has been no release since 2014.
As I do not use any manager on my system, I remain unaware of a
possible
replacement. I did, however, look quickly and noticed connman which
advertize
itself as a slim and low on resources.
As a quick poll, does anybody has a preferred network manager?

Request to the Devuan community . . .
As we get closer to the Chimaera release, we'd appreciate some
feedback on whether the existing documentation listed below, which is
applicable to all releases, is still useful/accurate and should be
carried forward for use in Chimaera.
These documents were written by dev1fanboy aka chillfan who provided
updates/corrections from Jessie through Beowulf. Sadly, he has not
been seen for a very long time or responded to email queries.
You can find the docs that need reviewing here:
