Still working on 1st cup of coffee -- mind yet filled with cobwebs. Reviewing the reports of wizard & clarity.
Just wanted to mention that there are alternatives to red-shift. https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 3107#p3107. Not sure what would be involved to implement them.
Conman is a mixed blessing. It is the easiest and fastest application by which to establish a wifi connection. On the other hand, in addition to the issues wizard noted I have these:
(1) There is no way to unhide the password being entered. The most often location from which an internet connection is sought is NOT a public one. By now most people will have long, complex passwords. Simple typing mistakes are not evident and will lead to long, frustration filled minutes of attempting to resolve a problem whose solution would be obvious if the typed password could be shown.
(2) I am compelled to use a wifi extender, a device which relays the wifi signals broadcast by the router. My router broadcasts two, one of which is 5G that carries more information but produces a weaker signal. The extender amplifies those signals before relaying them under different names. In other words, my computer's wifi adapters see 4 networks all of which are under my control. Which one provides the strongest signal at any time depends on interference from other close-by networks (channels? being used by neighbors). Most frequently, the strongest signal is the not-5G generated by the extender. Because two are relays, to access them requires the same password as the direct signals. They present, however, as 'open networks'.
Conman does not have any option to enter a password for such 'open' signals; nor to set the password for a direct network, disconnect from it and connect to its 'relayed' twin. Other wifi controlling applications do.
(3) You might think the work-around to problem 2 would just be to install frisbee or Simple Network System and/or, if necessary, the network wizard to 'call' them. That doesn't work. Or at least not OOTB. They won't appear on the menu, EVER. Something is either missing or conman prevents their installation. I'll investigate further. But if my sometimes flaky and as yet still further encumbered by cobwebs memory is correct, dimkr has mentioned conman can not co-exist with at least one of the other applications.
If the above can not be resolved, then I would argue that conman's advantages are over-weighed by its disadvantages.
