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.
