This may not be the right section to post this question…
With AntiX 19 the Connman replaced CENI and WICD. I trust AntiX creators this is the right decision… However in my testing a question arose: How to configure WPA2 Enterprise with Connman… In 17.2 WICD had this as part of interactive GUI. I agree WICD may not be the best/optimal wifi configuration and not efficient but seemed the only I knew to have Enterprise setting interactive…
It appears to me now we need to construct static configuration file for every Enterprise wifi network?
This may be a broader linux question: No connection managers in existence that would have wifi Enterprise interactive except WICD?Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):

More of some ‘antiX specific issue’, if it’s true.
I can’t speak of all (‘broader linux’) but, all OS that I ever used, didn’t have problems connecting Enterprise WiFi’s whatsoever.
It certainly works with default network managers in XFCE (Salix), KDE Plasma (Neon) and Gnome (Ubuntu and Mint; Cinnamon also uses Gnome).
Thanks noClue. However I do not think it is AntiX specific issue. In fact it has to do with what network connection manager is used and in AntiX 17 it was CENI and WICD while in AntiX 19 it is Connman. For personal I used CENI as it was more efficient, however for enterprise I needed to use WICD since CENI did not support enterprise unless reportedly WPA Supplicant was configured beforehand but the Supplicant did not seem to work at all, CENI or not.
Connman seems a good decision to replace both CENI and not very efficient WICD, just need to figure out how to use with WiFi Enterprise.
Those desktops you quoted such as KDE, Gnome are some of those bloated ones that do not care about efficiency and dexterity, unacceptable to me…
I think I can live with Connman even if I do not figure out how to set Enterprise WiFi…Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):

Does the arch wiki help?

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Does the arch wiki help?
Yes. I was aware of this wiki before I posted. The problem seems that each enterprise connection needs to be pre-defined in a configuration file. Therefore it is not flexible/interactive.
However I think enterprise networks are not something you change often, so I can live with such solution. It appears to me the advantages of Connman outweigh disadvantage (comparing to WICD). It appears to me this choice for AntiX 19 is a good compromise and simplify network management. Previously both CENI and WICD had to be used, now just one.
So overall I do appreciate continued dedication of AntiX creators to system perfection…Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):
