Wireless Managager on Debian Wheezy

[Bit Pusher]

It appears Connman is being used to manage the network on Debian Wheezy.

Does this mean /etc/network/interfaces is no longer being used?

The only configuration file I have found for connman is /var/lib/connman/settings which has:

[WiFi]

Enable=false

Tethering=false

Can someone explain how to specify using /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf for storing passwords, and where to specify a static IP, gateway, DNS server,

etc? Does anyone have opinions re going back to NetworkManager?

You can always un-install connman and use "/etc/network/interfaces"

I just use it by default to remove the evil 2 minute delay that
login/getty will wait for eth0 when the cable isn't connected..
