Entirely possible, but what an omission! > All modules are installed in > $PREFIX/lib/enlightenment/modules, if you haven't any connman dir in > there you simply haven't that module. OK, that solves it. No connman in /usr/lib/enlightenment/modules > In that case you have only two chances: Is it not possible simply to download whatever ought to go in there?

I was going to get the .debs and copy them over on a USB stick and ask apt to install them but it seems it has kindly kept a copy in the archives, so I'm back online. But I finally found where connman ought to be. Damn, but that was well-hidden! It's in Shelf>Contents>Advanced in the Loaded Gadgets tab but it is turned off, and there is (of course) no way to turn it on. This appears to have been reported four years ago as Debian bug 593366 as a wishlist item to have it turned on by default. In true Debian fashion, it appears to have been entirely ignored. This is a pity, but perhaps in view of Simon and Andreas' comments it's just as well...I need to connect to several dozen wireless networks with widely varying configurations and protocols.
