I don't think you get it - luncher is the application launcher - what was
bryce and is now gadget bar is what holds the luncher (which is a gadget as
well as any of your other gadgets - wireless, pager, temperature,
cpumonitor, netstatus, etc.., etc.., etc...) so gadget bar makes sense.  NM
works with the wireless gadget so no need to switch to connman. Bryce was a
joke we made -- nothing more to tell.

https://git.enlightenment.org/enlightenment/gadgets/wireless.git/ suports
networkmanager (NM) and connman so whatever you have will work.
