    Wanted to post it anyway, maybe gives you hints what is happening. This is from syslog after starting NM on the testing-repo-system

    Sorry for highjacking your thread, Aldrich86, again: network-manager in stable (stretch) repos works without problems.

    (THX to skidoo pointing out the picture is not antiX)
    You get access to the options in the image you posted above when you type in terminal

    nm-applet
    This will create an applet in the taskbar. with left-mouse-click on the applet it get’s to this options, right-click gives other ones.
    You can make the applet autostart at boot, see my post above.
