Thanks for your 2 cents.

What is not working? NetworkManager is not working.

I am trying something new. I want to be told what to do. I could be even
more painful and say, "the internet doesn't work", but I will not do
that to you all.

NetworkManager is not working on a fresh install. My guess is that it
doesn't work on a systemd-less system and that no one here uses it.

I would like word that it does work from someone who does use it.
Otherwise I will use wicd, which worked in the past.

Best regards,

Simon
