Announcing ConnMan.net

The one time I tried wicd it made my eyes bleed. I don't know how somebody could possibly recommend it over network-manager except on very low resource machines.. and even then I think that just using the default Debian network configuration scripts would be superior.

I think that most people are basing their impressions on Network-Manager 0.6 stuff, which was abismal. The 0.7.1 is vastly superior in all respects.

I have yet to run into any way other then Network-Manager to make using a tethered phone, 3G network adapter, or anything of that nature even remotely usable in Linux*.

I wouldn't mind seeing a better more modular solution then NM. If somebody had a very nice command line client for NM then that would be terrific. Maybe Conman will be better since it seems to be designed for small devices like Cell phones and whatnot.

But so far nothing I've seen comes close to trying to fix the problems NM is trying to fix.

* and if any solution anybody is using involves ppp your solution sucks.. modern devices don't work like that anymore and if they can be configured through ppp and chat scripts then that means that it's in 'legacy' mode and performance and reliability will suffer.
