Hi
in order for the normal user to use wpa_supplicant via dbus, he needs to be added to the netdev group as u can see:

--- Code: ---jls@vesa:~$ cat /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf

jls@vesa:~$


--- End code ---
so I added the following line in /opt/bootlocal.sh

--- Code: ---usermod -aG netdev $(cat/etc/sysconfig/tcuser)

--- End code ---

Hi
Actually the e19 connection manager module works also without adding the user to the netdev group

jls:
I cannot connect to non protected access points, while protected & ethernet cable do  work.

Jason W:
Thanks, I added a startup script for wpasupplicant that adds the $USER to the netdev group.

jls:
Hi
upgrading to the new kernel resolves enlightenment connection manager module problem of connecting to non protected access points
