Rep:
Can't Connect to WIFI, related to "sudo connmanctl"?
I'm not able to connect to WiFi from my Asus K55A laptop (not from Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome LTS and not from a Lubuntu live disk).
I recently tried to connect to a Lego Mindstorms robot and ran
robot@ev3dev:~$ sudo connmanctl
as described on
http://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials...-command-line/
But I don't know if that's related.
The output of a WiFi analysis script is below. Maybe the below will help you to tell me what the problem is. Thanks

I just ran "sudo apt-get install network-manager" while on wired ethernet internet. That installed fine (second time?), I didn't get a message about removing connman. Then I unplugged the ethernet cable. That put me on WiFi and I successfully pinged Google. Great. But for some reason I am still unable to surf the web in Firefox or Chromium. This doesn't make sense. What do you recommend?
