Yes, my grammar is just as convoluted as the foreign language speakers. I have no excuse, english is my native language.
I have edited a couple pages in the Wiki, dealing with Network. Grahamperrin gave me some edits to place in the wiki english file. Thank you, Graham Perrin,
If you have a little time, can you read my NetWork link and help correct or improve the writing? I am still adding and improving the wiki post.
My problem is that FreeBSD networking automatically sets up and runs, but that "NetworkMgr" "Up / Down Arrow" icon in the upper right kde4 tray does not respond like it did before. Clicking on it gives two choices "Ethernet Network" grey out and "Enable Networking" white color. Clicking on "Enable Networking" does nothing at all? So you have any answers or comments on testing Python modules? Before when NetworkMgr did work, it would show the wifi access points from a wifi scan and allow you to select which access point to connect to. Left Mouse Click on that name, and NetworkMgr would connect to that access point.
I have to read and understand the NetworkMgr python code and execution to find out what broke or is misconfigured. Any test code hints you could pass below would help me understand what is working and operational in the python code. Do you use ps -ax. How about FreeBSD sockstat or netstat commands to study connections. Right to me NetworkMgr is just a black box that is not working. Where is NetworkMgr stalled in the code waiting for something X to happen? How does WifiMgr application interfere with the operation of NetworkMgr?

I did begin writing here from my level of a being new noob to FreeBSD and GhostBSD. That means not knowing the names of the command to execute to see which hardware is working in the computer system. Like pcconf -lv or usbconfig list or kldstat, kldload, kldunload or netstat -r . So I have most likely added too much information for a normal user and kind of cluttered the key information with many extra commands. Sorry, but when you are new, you don't have a procedure to follow or know the command names from the very beginning. After you have setup a network 4 or 5 times manually, then you establish your own self taught procedure.

My point of view is like forum post question, "Getting Online"
I have been running GhostBSD MATE 10.1 and i couldn't get online. Would someone like to explain the procedure to a GhostBSD noob please. So, I added the steps I would take to understand my computer hardware setup and the 3 .CONF files to edit. Seems like I have left out the "netstat -r" command there. Will edit and add. Am I missing any other useful commands and options to understand network setup?

I am looking for your editorial critique to make the GhostBSD wiki better for a brand new noob user. I feel that the easier to setup and use, the more potential users stay around with GhostBSD.
EricBSD and other developers thank you for what you have created in GhostBSD. I chose it because it offered a Live USB operation with out installing for testing.
