Hi Thomas, Thank you for all the details you have provided, I am sure they will help.
My suspicion was (and is now re-inforced after reading your response) that I have mis-installed the plugin. NetworkManager is installed under /usr while NetworkManager-openconnect is under /usr/local. I did ensure the /usr/local/lib is set in the ld.so.conf and refreshed with ldconfig. Nonetheless I still do not get to see any option(s) from the nm-connection-editor to add an openconnect connection type. I only see the Hardware and Virtual lists. I will try to re-install and push the NetworkManager-openconnect to /usr. To answer your last question--I am under Slackware-current and there is no appropriate package for openconnect plugin for the version I am on for NetworkManager. Hence, why I build from source. I 'll let you know how it goes--in the meantime my GF will have to use the terminal lol. She is very happy with NetworkManager and nm-applet though :) Cheers, George On Sat, Apr 2, 2016, at 11:07 AM, Thomas Haller wrote: > On Sat, 2016-04-02 at 08:27 -0400, George Karabotsos wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > I have NetworkManager with nm-applet working on my linux-box.
