Hi Stuart, Not sure if this will help you but it did work for me and my wifi is very reliable. Have not lost connection and i can run a full opkg upgrade without getting any errors or dropped connections.
With ethernet connected run the following in the terminal. cd to a folder that would be easy to remember opkg update opkg download dhcp-client networkmanager network-manager-applet wireless-tools wpa-supplicant You will want to download these because networkmanager wont install with connman installed and once you remove connman you will lose all network connections. opkg remove connman --force-removal-of-dependent-packages opkg remove connman (you may have to do --force-remove can't recall off the top of my head) Please note that you will want to go to the folder that you downloaded the packages to and remove the version numbers from the file names. opkg install /path/to/folder/wpa-supplicant.ipk opkg install /path/to/folder/wireless-tools.ipk opkg install /path/to/folder/dhcp-client.ipk opkg install /path/to/folder/networkmanager.ipk opkg install /path/to/folder/network-manager-applet.ipk reboot That should install network manager and its required packages. Can't recall if wireless-tools is required but it doesn't hurt to have it. After the reboot you should have a different icon where the connman one was on the top right. Click on icon, select wireless network and enter your passphrase and you should be good to go. If you run into any problems let me know. Hope this helps.
