[Solved] Connman won't connect to any wifi network!

On my laptop, every time I try to connect to a wifi, it says it's not registered.

connmanctl> state
  State = idle
  OfflineMode = False
  SessionMode = False
connmanctl> scan wifi
Scan completed for wifi
connmanctl> services
    HP-Print-C6-Photosmart 5520 wifi_681729cfa328_48502d5072696e742d43362d50686f746f736d6172742035353230_managed_psk
    Breibandet           wifi_681729cfa328_4272656962616e646574_managed_psk
    Asus                 wifi_681729cfa328_41737573_managed_psk
connmanctl> connect wifi_681729cfa328_4272656962616e646574_managed_psk 
Error /net/connman/service/wifi_681729cfa328_4272656962616e646574_managed_psk: Not registered

connmanctl> technologies
/net/connman/technology/ethernet
  Name = Wired
  Type = ethernet
  Powered = True
  Connected = False
  Tethering = False
/net/connman/technology/wifi
  Name = WiFi
  Type = wifi
  Powered = True
  Connected = False
  Tethering = False
connmanctl> 

The wireless device is not soft blocked, nor is it hard blocked. I have been able to connect to this wireless network before.

Re: [Solved] Connman won't connect to any wifi network!

The configuration files for the networks is in /var/lib/connman.  Maybe the file has some how been damaged or the wireless setting have somehow been changed?

Turn on the agent and then try again.  It should ask you for a passphrase, then use that to generate a config for you.

Oh.. simply writing "agent on" in connmanctl did it. Thanks! I don't understand. What is an agent, how did "agent on" fix it?
