page on NetworkManager. If NetworkManager is going to be handling any/all network devices. Then you shou ld not have anything but NetworkManager enabled. If you have any net-auto-wirele ss services enabled they will have to be disabled. # systemctl stop net-auto-wireless.service # systemctl disable net-auto-wireles.service You will then have to bring down your Network Interface Controllers. If you're u sing the new naming scheme then use ip l to display the interface names and brin g them down. For each interface listed (wired, wireless): # ip link set <interface> down Once down, enable NetworkManager and start NetworkManager: # systemctl enable NetworkManager # systemctl start NetworkManager Note: If you have services which fail if they are started before the network is up, you have to use NetworkManager-wait-online.service instead. This is however hardly ever necessary since most network daemons start up fine, even if the netw ork has not been configured yet. Also: I believe extra/networkmanager does not supply the gnome applet. If not it will be in extra/network-manager-applet

First stop NetworkManager and anything that has to do with networking: # systemctl stop NetworkManager pgrep -l dhc (stop the services or kill the processes for these) ps aux | grep -i wicd | grep -v grep (same with these) Then start NetworkManager again, and wait for a few seconds. Use the network-manager-applet if you like. See if you can connect.
