ENLIGHTENT NETWORK APPLET dead BOTH CONNMAN AND GTK NM-APPLET

reinstalled opensuse with enlightent, followed “https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Enlightenment#Known_issues” and that added the new appletbut it is blank and has no interface options appart from the usual size and moving on rightclick
tried to install the package via a ymp 1click install and that installed but the applet still doesnt work. is there any way i can configure the network from the original connman via using different repo to get alll the dependancies?
Thanks
Luca
