Yes, there is limited workaround so you can create a .config file that setups the ethernet port automatically when it comes up. See doc/config-format.txt in connman sources for details. Note that a service becomes immutable if provisioned via .config file so user is only able to tweak very limited settings for the service in this case. > Alternatively, can connman > be set up to ignore my ethernet port and manage only the wifi? Yes, you can start connman with -I command line option to ignore some network interfaces. > > I apologize for the elementary question— the best docs I've been able to > find are those on the Arch Linux wiki: > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Connman > > I'm using connman v1.15, via the Ubuntu 14.04 deb package. Please upgrade connman if possible, we have fixed lot of nasty bugs after 1.15.
