I couldn't get the wireless connection to work - there seems to be a lack of interface for dealing with it (or maybe I don't know how to use it.) In fact, there wasn't much of an interface at all.
Something I read about connman says that it's designed for embedded systems. That make sense. Other stuff I read says that people think wicd is ugly, but I don't see what the problem is - it looks fine to me. The dropdown menu on connman's panel icon was kinda ugly, though.

The daemon can be turned off if not needed. It's simple to use whether an experienced user or not. Manual network setup is a pain.
The only other tool I know that's not DE-specific and is actually any good is Ceni.
