Hi, Currently, FreeBSD lacks proper support for tools such as NetworkManager, plasma-nm, and nmcli. This has caused a very serious impact on laptop and desktop users. Switching networks often requires many command-line steps to complete, which is inconvenient and unfriendly for daily use. At the moment, the only similar software available is net-mgmt/networkmgr, but unfortunately this tool is almost unusable. It has many bugs, and its maintenance is not active. I sincerely hope that in the future FreeBSD can have a tool similar to NetworkManager (with GUI integration such as plasma-nm and CLI tools like nmcli), which would significantly improve the user experience for laptop and desktop users. Thank you very much for your attention. ykla
