SOLVED! wifi connections? no gui, no "connmanctl scan wifi" output

[speculatrix]

I don't seem to have any wifi functionality.

I ssh'd in over the usb ether, and I see a wifi device,

Code: [Select]

root@gemini:~# ip ad show dev wlan0
34: wlan0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:09:34:5a:83:db brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

root@gemini:~# ip link set dev wlan0 up

root@gemini:~# ip ad show dev wlan0
34: wlan0: mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:09:34:5a:83:db brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

root@gemini:~# connmanctl enable wifi
Enabled wifi

root@gemini:~# connmanctl scan wifi
Scan completed for wifi
I installed connman-ui but if I run connman-ui-gtk at the command line, nothing happens. There's nothing in the menus that looks useful.

The connman UI we've been using is 'cmst'.
