More Network Wizard fixes

There are posts about Network Wizard fixes a couple of days ago:

Wasn't quite there, so there have been more fixes, including improvements. See recent github commits:

The "Puppy network tools" include SNS, Network Wizard (also known as NetWiz), Frisbee, Pgprs, PupDial, PeasyWiFi, pppoe and perhaps more that I cannot recall right now. There is a GUI wrapper, known as "Internet Connection Wizard", that presents whatever of these tools is installed and offers a choice to the user.

There is also network-tray system tray applet. This is different from 'network-manager-applet' that is used with NetworkManager.

Easy 5.5.3 has SNS, Network Wizard, Pgprs and pppoe tools installed, as well as the network-tray and Internet Connection Wizard. NetworkManager and network-manager-applet are not installed.

The recent github commits are changes to improve the integration of these tools.

Network-tray applet has been bumped from version 3.4 to 3.5, and right-click menu has an extra entry, "Select different networking tool", which will run the Internet Connection Wizard (ICW):

I added that extra menu entry, as I noticed that one of the testers in the forum had trouble finding how to run the ICW.
It can also be run by right-click on the "net" desktop icon. Next up, I will add it to the "Network" category of the menu -- I think that it used to be there but got removed after shifting Easy to using only NetworkManager.

So, it looks like EasyOS version 5.5.4 isn't very far in the future.
