Description Ben McMonagle 2021-04-07 02:52:47 CEST

Description of problem: the current second  pane of Mageia Welcome describes the  various repos, and suggests enabling them.
How-ever, this precludes the new user knowing  how to connect to the internet in an alien environment(to them!). also, on occasion,  I have noted that the network  icon does not show in the system tray.
I suggest a new 2nd pane in the  Welcome app, "Connecting to the internet".
2 buttons; 
1: I want to connect to the internet using WIFI => button to launch network-manager or drakroam.
2: I want to connect to the internet another way =>  button to launch network-manager or drakconnect.

network-manger currently is not yet default, so some logic would be required to determine if it  is installed.
drakroam is  quite a bit simpler than drakconnect  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
