A program called NetworkManager has been the default network configuration mechanism on Ubuntu for some time now. Several front-ends for the desktop-agnostic backend exist, but primarily there are cli, Gnome, and KDE variants. Wikipedia lists several NetworkManager front ends. GTK-based window managers usually use nm-applet, and an independent wiki gives instructions on using nm-applet with the awesome window manager.

(incidentally, that link is hosted through naquadah.org, and I'm in the middle of a Stargate episode :P)
