Connman notes on Artix Linux with Dinit init

- Initial commit (more like I copied the NetworkManager notes and swapped its mentions to connman)
- When installing connman, do not install NetworkManager. We don't want to have one network manager too many.
- Hotswapped connman for NetworkManager without chroot. I imagine hotswappping NetworkManager for connman works the same way with the mentions swapped.
	- # pacman -S networkmanager-dinit network-manager-applet
	- # dinitctl disable connmand
	- # dinitctl enable NetworkManager
	- # pacman -Rs conmman-dinit connman-gtk

+ chroot
	- # pacman -S connman-dinit dhcpcd-dinit wpa-supplicant iptables-dinit
	Note : M.S.I. has caused the author to not enable connman on boot in chroot, therefore necessitating dinitctl later in system.

+ system; terminal shell
	- # dinitctl enable connmand

+ GUI (GTK3/XFCE)
	- # pacman -S connman-gtk
	
+ Tethering (connman)
	- I was unable to figure this out. Everytime I enable tethering (after setting PersistentTethering=true) the computer refuses to go online. As such, I can no longer continue using Connman and reverted to NetworkManager. As bad as it was, at least I can still tether with it.
