Hi,
Does ConnMan provide C API to setup WiFi and LTE connection? Or it is
not necessary to use API but use configuration in main.conf?
I am currently debating with my colleague about if it is necessary to
use connection manager in a small embedded Linux device with network
interfaces of LTE, WiFi and BLE. To cut the long story short, I
strongly proposed to use ConnMan and my colleague is against it, his
argument was connection manager should only be used in desktop not for
embedded system, he wanted to set up WiFi directly from
wpa_supplicant, run LTE connection directly from modem gpio. From my
point of view, set up WiFi directly from wpa_supplicant is fine, but
switch on / off LTE directly from gpio could cause serious
consequences, the application should never interact LTE directly
through low level of GPIO, it'll likely to break the integrity of the
kernel and Linux system where other parts of the kernel or system
access the modem via ioctl communication. The manager will make the
final call. As an embedded developer, none of us have experience in
connection manager, appreciate your comments.
Thank you.
JH

There is a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc, how could
the configure script not find it?
