Thank you, that sounds perfect, but... > connman module not loaded? note - it requires the connman daemon to be doing > the network selection and management. this has been there since > before e17 came out. still is. I don't see any sign of any connman module anywhere. I don't know if this is just an omission from the e17 package provided via the Xubuntu repos, or my lack of understanding. Settings>Modules has no category for networking, and there is nothing called connman anywhere in the categories shown. Is this something I need to download and add on?

So in a moment of rashness I installed the Xubuntu connman, connman-doc, connman-dev, and connman-debug packages, which forced the removal of the network-manager packages. Not a sensible thing to do, because once I power down, my connection will not come back. connman appears to be just a daemon, with a very sparse man page, so it's unclear to me (a) how to tell it to do something, and (b) what inside e17 is supposed to talk to it. As I now have connman installed and network-manager uninstalled, I don't see any information about how to reconnect to my networks using connman. I am clearly missing some vital piece of information here. If I mark the connmand daemon for startup at boot time, how do I tell e17 to talk to it, scan for APs, and offer me connections? I see from a lot of web pages that this is a common problem, eg http://slackblogs.blogspot.ie/2013/02/econnman-for-e17.html : >> I finally add the last missing piece of E17 components and that is econnman.

That would be perfect if there was anything to click on... Sorry for the ramble, but this one is seriously opaque to me. I'm not clear if this is even achievable using the prebuilt e17 .deb, as it seems to be missing anything to bind to connmand. ///Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?
