In my testing from stretch there was no traditional networking there which

I've made a note just now that manual network configuration is a requirement
when working remotely, and updated the manual network configuration page. I'll
also create update the website in a moment and make the merge request.
Please would translators hold off on those pages for now or update them if
you've already done the work. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Dear Chillfan,
sorry for pestering you, but by reading the same page again I was
wondering if the transition to wicd is really necessary. As a matter
of fact, we do have a network-manager package in the Devuan repos
(both for Jessie and for ASCII), and it has been reported to work just
fine. I am the least qualified person to speak about that since I
don't use nm, but if replacing it is not mandatory, we could perhaps
amend the first part of the document accordingly, e.g., suggesting
users the possibility of choosing between nm and wicd.

On this particular installation I removed wicd and switched to connman
as it is also available in the repositories and seems to work fine for
me. Choice is good. (-:
I was finding wicd hit or miss with what appeared to be some kind of
conflict on this ascii install and I really can't get my head into
using network-manager due to bad experiences using its forebear
"network-mangler".
