When you say update firmware are you referring to a different image or a kernel. I am doing this as a test with latest image 2016-11-06 and did do an sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Using an SD card version of that image.
I am familiar with using connman and the Dec 5 testing image from Robert Nelson to get connected to my home network. Also others have later testing images connecting using connman . At the Meetup you said in newer images connman had been replaced with something else and I forgot what you said it was?
