Hi Jukka, Very helpful, thanks— not sure why it didn't occur to me to look in the source repo itself for docs. For others following along, the config file documentation is here: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/connman/connman.git/tree/doc/config-format.txt
Is there a PPA or other debian source for getting the currently recommended connman version, or is it basically down to building it from source? Looks like 1.21 is the version currently in sid, so that one can be had as a sourcedeb without much trouble. Is that adequate, or is it best to be right on the current release?
