ceni is a -nice- console ui for managing network conf file.. just :
# apt install ceniworks with openrc too.
I used this many years ago when i started out with linux, good to see it is in the debian repos. Amazing perl programming.
If anyone is interested, check out this git page that hosts ceni source among other historical stuff (aptosid/kanotix/sidux etc). https://github.com/fullstory-morgue

]]>Yes ifup and ifdown does work if /etc/network/interfaces are properly configured.
This is what I use after "upgrading" to Chiamaera.
Have a nice day

Also, like one of the users above me, I'm using the "unstable" branch, hence dependency issues with Python (I asked about this here). Without Python, Youtube-dl wouldn't work, so what I did to mitigate this was I copied some of Python's binary files from a backup after properly removing all conflicting packages via APT. Jack and stuff like that are pretty much worthless in my book, since ALSA is more lightweight and just works.

Connman-ui is a separate package that provides a system tray icon, and only the icon based on my very limited testing. Connman-gtk sometimes struggles to run and start straight into its own system tray icon, but it's tolerable.
If I understand what's been happening correctly, on my laptop that I suspend/hibernate/whatever when I shut the lid for the night, I don't lose my dhcp IP address! I had to write an xscreensaver-watch hook for wicd to always re-initiate dhcp request.
So, some pros, and some conns (pun intended).
