no idea why you had issues but connman has worked perfectly for me on very
machine i have... perhaps it's how it's packaged? missing something?

you will have to start one up and show the other service down (e.g. systemctl
start/stop etc.)

use a ~/.xnitrc with a custom logon script. something like:

#!/bin/sh
sudo systctl stop networkmanager.service
sudo systemctl start connman.service
exec /usr/local/bin/enlightenment_start

ie - stop networkmanager (use whatever correct name it is for the service) and
start connman - then e runs. if you reboot it'll go back to default (eg
networkmanager)
