I understand wpa-supplicant is used for Wireless, no problem there..
Though I am trying to find out what software is installed to configure Ethernet Connections by default.
Any pointers would be appreciated

ifplugd to detect when a cable is plugged in/unplugged
isc-dhcp-client I think it's called, is the dhcp client
the kernel itself handles a lot of it as well.
dpkg -l | grep network will give you a list of packages to do with networking on Raspbian.
Out of curiosity, why do you want to know ?

Thanks for information.
I am learning and was wondering if I could use network-manager-gnome, which is the standard in Lubuntu
http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager instead of wpa_supplicant gui etcetc to control connections within the LXDE Desktop.

Don't see any reason why you couldn't...
Only one way to find out
