I see your point and I have to say that I agree with you. But on the other hand our users have used to how Network Manager works and giving them something drastically new might be difficult at first. But thank you for the comments, I'll pass it up to our designer. > So right now ConnMan only gives you the current list of available > services.

As a user, I want to have access to all network settings stored on the device. Otherwise I don't know what is exactly stored on the device. For example, think of secret credentials accidentally leaking. I want to be in control of my device, not the other way around. I also assume that normal users would not edit, or remove, their connections that much, if any. But I'm sure power users will demand to have something like this. > Anyhow, we have been discussing this a while back.

Now my next question is, would you accept a patch implementing this?
