ConnMan

ConnMan(8) is a daemon that manages network connections, is designed to be slim and to use as few resources as possible. The connman package contains the basic utilities to run ConnMan.

Starting ConnMan

To enable the ConnMan daemon, first disable any other network managing services like dhcpcd, wpa_supplicant, or wicd. These services all control network interface configuration, and interfere with each other.

Finally, enable the connmand service.

Configuring ConnMan

ConnMan CLI

The connman package includes a command line tool, connmanctl(1) to control network settings. If you do not provide any commands, connmanctl starts as an interactive shell.

Establishing a connection to an access point using the connmanctl interactive shell might look as follows:

wifi_<uniqueid> > exit ```

### ConnMan Front-End Tools

There are many other front-ends to ConnMan, including `connman-ui` for
system trays, `connman-gtk` for GTK, `cmst` for QT and `connman-ncurses` for
ncurses based UI.
