Note to self: Check with Tomasz if his connman-ui would be a better option for us than connman-gnome. https://github.com/tbursztyka/connman-ui
Moving to 2.2: this does not make sense before Sato gtk3 patchset.
This didn't make 2.2, moving to 2.3. I have done a bit of testing and review though. We should move to https://github.com/jgke/connman-gtk : it's fairly modern, well made and actually supports most (all?) connman features. Only depends on Gtk+3 and glib-2.0 as well. A patch may be required to get the notification icon working but that should be easy.
Documenting the lack of progress here: the project linked in comment 2 is still a valid option (and more modern than the code we currently use) but I haven't gone through the trouble of integrating it into Sato as it too is pretty much abandoned now :( Last commits were December 2015...
connman-gtk from comment 2 appears dead but is less dead that connman-gnome or connman-ui. We should give it a go.

Please rebase and resend. Did you test with on real hardware with ethernet and wifi?
Updated version of connman-gtk available here: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=maxin/connman-gtk&id=f6a2114793fdcad1009bf6c1da6bd5cc70596f1f Known limitations: 1. Relaunching from status icon doesn't work in core-image-sato.

connman-gtk not very active but still worth doing.
connman-gtk has been abandoned, so I think when we move away from sato we either bring it back from the dead or find something else. Closing.
