Hi, Slávek
Well, after the initial install there WAS a /etc/netplan. It was empty.
I did try TDENetworkManager. I clicked up the
TDE Menu list > Internet > TDENetworkManager
. . . . . . . and n o t h i n g happened.
So, I pursued the `netplan` process and was successful.
I see _now_ that TDENetworkManager must be the item in the system tray
(with a un-understandable icon) that describes the network connection
when clicked on. However, when clicking on "TDENetworkManager" in TDE
Menu I was expecting a GUI to pop up with all sort of selections for
me (to totally screw up :-).
Thank you,
Jonesy
