Bug description

Since a recent version the Network applet shows WireGuard connections, which is great!

Unfortunately it can only show one active connection but there could be multiple.

Steps to reproduce

Create at least two WireGuard networks (with different subnets) and connect to both. The Network applet will only show one active connection.

Expected behavior

The Network applet should show checkboxes instead of the "radio" items to toggle the Networks independently.

Research direction

Start by locating the network applet entry point and reproduce the issue with two WireGuard networks on Mint 21.3. The change is complete when the applet shows independent checkboxes and both connections can be toggled separately.
