Wireless connection daemon.
but it does wired connections too
alternative to NetworkManager
Devuan 3 had it, but they dropped it in Devuan 4.

wlp2s0: unavailable
āRealtek RTL8188EEā
wifi (rtl8188ee), mac address, hw, mtu 1500
So nmcli is same as ip addr
Linux can see the hardware, but it isnt functioning
My bet is driver for enp1s0 is missing
You need to do
sudo dmesg | more
and page thru it looking for Realtek ethernet port and see if it loads the driver
I finished this job today so when I get back home this week Iāll post the results of those commands

Hi Cane,
Well it looks like best option is to wait for wicd to catch up with python3. Then it should be available again with a normal install.
I would not like to try that manual install. It could break other things. If you want to try, install it outside the package system in your home directory or in /usr/local. Then it cant break anything.

I got home this morning, plugged in my laptop, left my office
to unpack and when I got to my desk and logged into my computer,
my laptop had updated all its files over the wired network.
Ive been sending text messages back to the guys I was working with and - its possible - the company has blacklisted all laptops. The desktop I was using is raspberry pi that I use as a backup if I have laptop issues - and this previous trip is the first time Ive ever used it.
Im on my laptop wired to my router now. Its working fine.
Just a bit miffed this morning as someone else was linked into our texts who wasnt on site said - this has happened to other contractors in the past. So ā seems like this was all for not as it was out of my control. Sorry everyone.

Hi Wade,
Well it was interesting anyway, and I am sure we all learned something
Thanks for the embarrasing admission
Lets all go and have a good laugh
Neville
Well - its not too embarrassing ā¦ they paid my full rate
while I was stuck working on the problem they caused
which means - I worked only two actual days.
On the theorized problems though - except for the fact
that I have an ip now - all the other commands you all
asked me to run put out the same info.
