Yes. this is what I read elsewhere on the net. However it turns out that for whatever reason (maybe combination of tasksel packages?) I had connman and NetworkManager installed. The hint for me was that my /etc/resolv.conf contains "# Generated by Connection Manager". This is a totally different program. Which I removed and set the /etc/resolv.conf link to point to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf and installed resolvconf. I also set up my config files as Andreas suggested: andi@zeus:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown dns=dnsmasq [ifupdown] managed=false andi@zeus:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback ------------- The only thing I was missing was "dns=dnsmasq". This still did not work. So after learning about connman, I decided to try that. I removed NetworkManager and reinstalled connman and the "systray" app cmst "just worked". I cringe at that phrase. Sorry if it disturbs you too. LOL So I think I may never get to experience NetworkManager, but this is fine for now. Best regards and thanks for all the advice, Simon
