I use netctl, 'cause it's lighter than networkmanager and does what I want
it to do quite easily. Only thing I miss is a system tray icon. I tried
using netmon, but I don't like somethign python running all the time in the
background. I use timesyncd with netctl and it works perfectly well.

Hi all
I write you this mail because I'm a bit lost between all these network configuration tools available :
- systemd-networkd - dhcpcd service - netctl - wpa_supplicant - NetworkManager/wicd
There is two profiles I use now : a laptop (wifi auto-discover and connect with gui tray and easy to add network, ethernet auto-connect) and a raspberry py server (low ressources, ethernet only, dhcp configured, config not often changed). Actually, I use nm on my laptop (it's much much better than wicd) and dhcpcd on my raspberry pi. What would you use and why ?
Additional question : it seems systemd-timesyncd requires systemd-networkd, is it true ?
Thanks Yamakaky
