Marek,
Some weeks ago we (Holger, Mickey, Daniel, Jan and me) sat together
in Taipeh
discussing this issue. We had 2 options: connman or exalt. Mickey
planned to
look at both and give us feedback as soon as a decision was made
because the
FSO team intended to integrate a network manager anyways.
Hope the feedback is coming soon. :-)
I think Mickey has chosen connman, but I didn't see reasons or
comparison results with exalt.
Maybe Mickey has more...

may be deprecated but is still heavily used.
I looked into a later version which gladly accepted supplied

not do anything with it. Also, theoretically it should support
everything that
wpa_supplicant supports but it filtered networks internally.
