# connman
``connman`` is a lightweight nework manager.

You can connect to wifi APs through its CLI with connmanctl. The steps are usually as follows:

1. Enable Wi-Fi: hardware switch or ``enable wifi``
2. Scan for APs: ``scan wifi``
3. List found APs: ``services``
4. Enable auth agent: ``agent on``
5. Connect to AP: ``connect <id>``


DNS is managed automatically by connman through its internal DNS proxy.
