Toshiba AC-100 network manager removed by mistake

V had removed the Toshiba AC-100's network manager by mistake, and it was not able to connect to any network in order to restore the network. Copy-pasting from my email - 

When you removed the network manager, it looks like the device is unable to connect to any network. In any manner. If it had been able to connect to the network and if it was a current Linux distro, the way to make it work might have been
apt install network-manager-gnome

But even if it can connect to the network, I don't think Lubuntu 14 ARM distro files are available any more on the Ubuntu packages site. I see that on the AC100, /etc/apt/sources.list.d is empty. Did some searches, did not find any Lubuntu / Ubuntu 14.04 ARM repos. ARM files are not in https://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/

So, the easier option might be to reinstall the entire OS. 

Or if you know some place where you can download network-manager-gnome.deb for 14.04 ARM package, you can install it with GDebi package manager by right-clicking
 
For eg:

But this particular link kept complaining about missing dependencies. You would then need to download each dependency, install it, and if it complains that a newer version is already installed, remove the older version like
sudo apt remove libnm-gtk0
etc.

I'm not sure which process you followed to get Lubuntu 14 on it - the Ubuntu site mentions only how to get Lubuntu 12 on it - and also how to go back to the default Android.

I also see that Android 4 has been ported to it,
