ConnMan supports browsing and connecting to visible networks. If the network is hidden you will need to configure a manual connection by providing the SSID and passphrase to connect to. This is nothing new in LE11, the authors of ConnMan regard hidden SSIDs as pointless and even though it's pretty trivial to detect them Connman has intentionally never supported listing them.
connmanctl
agent on
scan wifi
services
connect wifi_<macaddress>_hidden_pskFrom fuzzy memory ^ use connmanctl and the hidden network will be listed with a name something like ^ that, and when you connect it will ask for the SSID and passphrase to use.
Connman was useless for me. I finally found that IWD could be used with the following:
iwctl> station <wlan> connect-hidden <ssid>
I had recreated the connman setting file from LE10 beforehand, so I don’t know if that made the process easier, but definitely look into IWD (iwctl)
Try adding the following to your settings file
Favorite=true
AutoConnect=trueYou can verify in your LibreElec settings under connections.
many thx again!
What settings file do you mean? Where could I find it?
O.
SSH into your system and look in:
/storage/.cache/connman
Find your connection folder and in that folder edit the settings file.
Unfortunately no. Double check the LibreElec system settings, but this is as much as I've figured out and gotten working.
LE10 uses wpa_supplicant. LE11 uses iwd. I'm not sure knowing that helps, but it probably explains the difference.

Perhaps use network-online.target instead of network.target.
