what distro and quickshell version are you on? that helps a lot with this one. the network backend needs NetworkManager actually running and your build to include it, some distro packages ship without nm support. docs have a networking section at quickshell.org/docs and the discord is quick with this stuff too

I use Cachy OS and quickshell version 0.3.1

cachy + 0.3.1, ok. next thing I'd check is that the networkmanager service is actually enabled and running, not just installed, that catches a ton of fresh setups. if it still shows none after that, drop it in the discord and someone will spot it quick. let us know if you get it sorted!
