Description
Spun off from https://github.com/helloSystem/Menu/issues/23#issuecomment-765926726
Need a GUI for when:
* network connection with DHCP is not automated
* static addressing is required.
### Example (DHCP)
1. Start the system offline
2. make a wired connection to a DHCP network
– there's no interface to the connection.
Need to create the interface, and so on.

* et cetera.
### Thoughts
I shouldn't recommend writing an app from scratch (thin end of a wedge).
Instead, seek an existing app. Ideally one that can integrate with the global menu, although I don't view https://github.com/helloSystem/Menu as a strict requirement; an app amongst utilities should suffice.
