NetworkManager offers a GUI for this. Otherwise, wvdial is a console-based 
utility that will connect to USB 3/4g modems.

  You can set name servers by hand in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf.
Would you want to prevent the DHCP daemon to set them, you could set a line
like:

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, host-name;

(that is, you leave out "domain-name-servers") and then you can set your own
resolvers with:

append domain-name-servers ::ip:address:dns1, ::ip:address:dns2;

Or you could take the DHCPD's server and prepend your own with a line like
the abose with "prepend" instead of "append".  I hope it's going to work with
IPv6 addresses too, I never tried it with those.

Hello,

which connection manager can also work with 3/4g equipment?

Or, maybe, just give a go to setnet:

  http://kalos.mine.nu/setnet/

It's in the Devuan experimental repo as well.

Hi,

But wicd does not accept ipv6 addresses in the dns fields. Is there 
some other way to supersede the dhclient dns settings on Devuan?


Jochen,

I just suggest you google (or duckduck) about how to configure 
wpa-supplicant for roaming, and install wpa-gui. Get rid of both 
network-manager and wicd. You don't need them.

I'm sorry, but I did not have the time to investigate this further. 
There were intermittent connectivity problems. Since they never happened 
with wicd, the easiest way was to switch back to wicd. Intermittent 
connectivity problems are extremely difficult to analyze, because you 
cannot reproduce them on demand. So how would you describe them for a 
bug report?

Also, "some network problems" is not a very helpful bug report :)

It has been in Jessie since Jassie has become stable. Please report
only on bugs/misfunctions about the latest version of whatever you are
using :)

Jessie


A de-systemd-ised network-manager

Is this new?
tried it, seems to work, but there are some network problems. Switched 
back to wicd.



If you don't want anybody to change the DNS settings in
/etc/resolv.conf, just:

  # chattr +a /etc/resolv.conf


Thats' great, thanks!
