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.
