@Rip2 posted a new topic, subject "[solved] Netwoking issue". It read:

   from plasma to others/sway, networkmanager was down.  
    so, how can bring up network auto, not to install another nm-apple?  
    or, keep network connected when SDDM running?
    
    sorry, poor english.

Then @TriMoon (Tripple Moon) said

    First define **what kind** of network connection you have in mind.  
    Is it Wifi or Ethernet?

After which, @Rip2 added

    sorry, its wifi mostly.  
    does netctl good choice? netplan?

To which @Strit (Dan Johansen) replied

    I have heard there was some issues with `dhcpcd` lately. Can you downgrade to the previous one?

After which, @Rip2 added

    plasma fresh install, no dpcpcd previous one.

So @Strit (Dan Johansen) replied

    In Plasma there is a Plasma Network Manager Applet. Simply tell that to auto connect to the wifi when you login.

So @Rip2 replied

    but im try to login sway.

After which, @Strit (Dan Johansen) added

    I don't know how wifi works in Sway, maybe @appelgriebsch knows, since he made the edition.

@appelgriebsch (Andreas Gerlach) replied

    Hmm if you use the sway edition image it should come with the nm-applet preinstalled and loaded during log in, so you should find it in the tray area of the waybar (top right position)…
    
    If you just install the sway program onto a different flavor of ManjaroARM you might miss all the customizations and autostart applications that will give you a desktop kind of experience…

To which @Rip2 replied

    dont want install others nm-applet, just bring up network after boot.

@appelgriebsch (Andreas Gerlach) replied

    Network manager also has a cli AFAIR (nm-cli)

Then @Rip2 said

    @appelgriebsch  
    if click audio setup icon, it never close in your image build.

After which, @appelgriebsch (Andreas Gerlach) added

    ??
    
    Quit applications via Alt+Shift+Q
    
    Check this intro post New Tech on the Blog

After which, @Rip2 added

    setup dialog stick on screen, is it a app?  
    that why quit sway/img.  
    im install plasma/sway to test wayland.

@Strit (Dan Johansen) replied

    Well, if you want a network applet in Sway, you need to install one.  
    Else you need to use the CLI version of NetworkManager (nm-cli) to connect to your wifi.

So @Rip2 replied

    so, when i want plasma/gnome/sway/lxqt etc, everyone need its nm-applet?

To which @appelgriebsch (Andreas Gerlach) replied

    Yup there is always an app involved when using a lightweight environment such as i3 or sway… for audio it's pavucontrol (overlays/sway/etc/skel/.config/waybar/config · master · manjaro-arm / applications / arm-profiles · GitLab)

After which, @Rip2 added

    ok, install netctl and remove networkmanager.  
    now, every DT are happy, thanks guys.
