Whether we stay with Wicd, which Devuan Alpha 2 does such a great job with, or switch to ConnMan, either way, you're right: network-manager is too entangled in dbus and systemd to be useful on Devuan, and it also requires you be in X, and that's not always true. I think that whether Wicd or ConnMan is our default network "make it easier machine", it should be easy to switch between the two, and part of that ease could be good documentation. By the way, I was going to answer Bardot Jérôme's query about Devuan Network-Manager similarly: Better to be rid of Network-Manager than to wonder if it's going to drag in systemd on an update. Network-Manager's wonderful for the one use case Debian envisions, but turns into a stumbling block when you go offroad.
