Hi, Sl�vek 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 :-).
