[[http://connman.net/|Connection Manager]] (ConnMan) is a daemon for managing internet connections in Linux. The Connection Manager is designed to be slim and to use as few resources as possible, so it can be easily integrated. The primary use case is embedded systems, but it can be also used in desktop environments. [[http://ofono.org/|oFono]] is a mobile telephony stack for Linux. For Connman it provides access to data modems so that a connection to Internet can be created. Ubuntu has [[https://launchpad.net/indicator-network|Network Menu]] as the frontend for ConnMan. It uses [[DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators|Application Indicator framework]] to show the menu to the user and provides various dialogs needed for managing Internet connections. The goal is to have all this working in Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE), but all the components work also with the Desktop edition. == Table of Contents == * [[ConnMan/Installation|Installation]] * [[ConnMan/Usage|Usage]] * [[ConnMan/ReportingBugs|Reporting bugs]] * [[ConnMan/Debugging|Debugging]] * [[ConnMan/Hardware/3G|3G support]] * [[ConnMan/Hardware/Test|Testing hardware support]] * [[ConnMan/DailyBuilds|Daily builds]] |

Connection Manager (ConnMan) is a daemon for managing internet connections in Linux. The Connection Manager is designed to be slim and to use as few resources as possible, so it can be easily integrated. The primary use case is embedded systems, but it can be also used in desktop environments.
oFono is a mobile telephony stack for Linux. For Connman it provides access to data modems so that a connection to Internet can be created.
Ubuntu has Network Menu as the frontend for ConnMan. It uses Application Indicator framework to show the menu to the user and provides various dialogs needed for managing Internet connections.
The goal is to have all this working in Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE), but all the components work also with the Desktop edition.
