Porting source to E would be "difficult" :-) My understanding is that NetworkManager is a daemon with a dbus API. So you basically need to "just" bind that into a E module. You should note that our current UI for connman is pretty limited and that connman provide much more feature than what we currently give access to. I have no recommendation on what is better improving Connman support or adding NetworkManager as both make sense. > Also what languages in terms of programming does one need to know? All core developers and applications tend to happen in C. Connman module does start a python application when you click on the configuration button, that did create us trouble with distribution that didn't provide it correctly and user did complain. So I would argue that for anything that is going to be integrated with E, it should be C only. -- Cedric BAIL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
