Thank you for this suggestion, just tried netman and it really works just fine.
But my initial questions are still there if I'm write to notice that network-manager is kind of 'default' package for desktop connection management (sorry if I'm mistaken). And, by the way, I've also seen an idea to avoid D-Bus in the list several times. So is it really another aim for Devuan, too? 2015-11-14 16:52 GMT+03:00 Edward Bartolo <[email protected]>: > I suggest you to try this: > http://gnuinos.org/netman/ (packages for amd64) > > Dowload the netman packages for your architecture and use dpkg -i to install. > > netman is a network manager without dbus and systemd requirements.
