This plugin was introduced by Fred in 2008.
At that time he wants to develop a lightweight network manager replacement
(lxnm).
The plugin was a companion of his lxnm.
For personal reasons, he never finished lxnm and then quit the project.
So of course lxnm was dropped from lxde, and lxnm is in an unmaintained
status.
Now network manager is already very mature and quite usable.
Besides, its gnome-applet, despite the name gnome, mostly use gtk+ only.
So I see no reason to maintain a duplicate.
Cheers!

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
