I'd have to say that every time I had to/wanted to use Debian systems, I
had this kind of problems. If it is not super important for you to use a
Debian-based distro, I would really recommend you to try PCLinuxOS or
Mageia. I use squeese. nm-applet is from the
network-manager-applet package,
The problem is making it work on Wheezy. I suppose I could go back to
Squeeze, but it seems better to put new installs on XFCE for now, if it
comes to that. XFCE has a really good network applet, and most users
don't really notice the difference as long as everything they need works.

tools. And they works with any desktop environment you want to use, even
small window managers. No need to know by heart console lines to write to
do ... things.
