NetworkManager does not depend on GNOME. It's part of the freedesktop.org stack and used in server distros likewise.

  My bad. I forgot it was freedesktop.org, not GNOME. Sure it's used in many server distros, but it's really a desktop tool.

    To me, scanning wireless networks is primarily a desktop task, and some desktop software is CLI or TUI and doesn't need a GUI.

      Would you consider an access point or embedded device a desktop?
