OS Buster - Network-Manager was created by Project_Hopeless
I've upgraded to Buster, and replaced the network manager.
I setup two ethernet connections, one to the Internet one to 7i96e card.
When I used the network-manger to check connection information I get "no valid connections found". But obviously that is wrong because I'm writing this post real time. Will I have stability issues with the connection?
Second question. Under Linux Mint I could set the default connection to be the 7i96e card. Then if I wanted I could click the manger and select the internet connection, wait couple seconds and I'm good to go. With Buster and Network-Manager can you select a default connection? how do you toggle between them?
apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome
apt-get remove wicd wicd-gtkI setup two ethernet connections, one to the Internet one to 7i96e card.

You should not need to toggle between the two, both should work simultaneously.
It is recommended that you use a 10.10.10.10 IP address for the 7I96
(and a host address of say 10.10.10.100) so that the IP address range
of the real time connection to the 7I96 does not overlap the internet NAT
range

My home network was already 10.X.X.X so I left my Mesa card with the 192.168.1.121 default. It has been working fine under Mint. My CNC is typically not connected to the home network, only during an update like this.
A general question, shouldn't the "General.State" be set as managed? also the connection that I set in the NetworkManager GUI does not show up in the command line show.
Also I'm connected to the internet but the "Connection Information" still finds no connections. Weird.

Maybe I misunderstood you, are you saying you just have one Ethernet connection on you PC and want to switch back and forth?

1 standard internet connection, and one static address connection for Mesa card.

Yes if it is possible under Buster.Maybe I misunderstood you, are you saying you just have one Ethernet connection on you PC and want to switch back and forth?

Well I made some progress. 1st thing was to restart network manager. I was then able to see the connection status.
The debian.org site said "Keep configuration of "/etc/network/interfaces" as simple as in the following. " so I edited the interface file like so.
The internet connection and network manager seem to work. Is there any issue commenting out the two lines above?
I have added a separate static IP connection for the Mesa card. I still need to test it. Are there any anticipated problems with my setup?

If your home network is in the 10.X.X.X range, I would allow it to get its IP address automatically and set a fixed address on the Mesa side to 192.168.1.1 with no gateway.
The PC should route to the internet correctly and Linuxcnc will talk to the mesa card without further config.
I am not using Buster but I'd like to think that you could configure that without playing with config files in this day and age. I was certainly able to do that in Mint recently.

It was weird, it's almost like network-manager was installed but never completely setup to launch as a service. Or the original network interface.d settings didn't allow it to start properly. I can't say for sure.
I'm up and running now. I can switch between automatic addressing for the internet and static addressing connected to the Mesa card.

I have just updated to Buster as recommended. my internet works but can't configure another connection. tried to install network manager as mentioned above, but got this response.
hard@hard:~$ apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
i should mention that the install kept locking after trying to configure connections so i had to tell it to install with out configuring connection

You need to be the super user to install system software so:
sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome
sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome
