A number of different people/companies have gotten the Meego UX to run
without connman just fine, using networkManager.  One company is
currently shipping such a beast and even calling it MeeGo :)

You can run the UX just fine on top of whatever distro you want
underneath it.  It's just a gui/windowmanager/set-of-libraries and

But yes, it does take a lot of work to get operational, of which Andrew
should be commended for.  Nice job Andrew!
