Usage

ConnMan can be used in two different ways, either with Network Menu found from the panel or via a command-line tool called cmcc , both are in indicator-network package.

Current usage options:

• Wired: plug in cable and network will be automatically enabled
• Wi-Fi: click indicator icon and choose network
• Wi-Fi security: a dialog asks passphrase from user during connection establishment
• Command-line tool cmcc for debugging and editing connections. For usage run:

  • cmcc help

3G modems

For 3G modems a separate package ofono is needed. Also it's a good idea to install use-modeswitch also.

1. Install ofono:

   • sudo apt-get install ofono

2. Install usb-modeswitch:

   • sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch

3. Plug in the modem and wait for the initialisation to finish
4. Check that cellular network is found:

   • cmcc list

5. Edit APN for the connection (usually it's "internet", but depends on the operator):

   • cmcc edit <connectionname> apn <apnname>

6. Start connection normally using the NetworkMenu
