Thanks for checking.

I realised a cause of the problem after reading 
<https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?p=9437#p9437>, which led me 
to report <https://github.com/ghostbsd/networkmgr/issues/56>.

<https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/networkmgr/#history> updated to 5.0 
on 23rd April.

I wonder why I see no log of the update:
