I got distracted by "Define "desktop"" so based my response on the assumption Xfce was installed with tasksel. You are correct though, what was done would be central to having connectivity *after* the install. As I have said, if Xfce was brought in as part of the install then /e/n/i is copied over to the new installation. If it was not then /e/n/i is not copied over and it is left to the user to set up networking with a chosen application. -- Brian.
