[xubuntu-users] Network Manager Gone!

[Gérald Jean]

Hello,

I had the same problem while on a long European trip.  I ended up 
selecting a network through a CLI command:

$ nmcli d wifi connect NetworkName password "password" iface wlan0

worked fine but you need to know the name of the network of course. 
Needed to be done only once, after the network manager knows the new 
network it will connect to it automatically.
