Hi - I had my wifi working as an AP at one point, but had to alter things to get my wired network working (had a bad PCI dual port card and replaced it).
Running up to date Fedora 31, kernel 5.6.19-200.fc31.x86_64. # nmcli -v nmcli tool, version 1.20.12-1.fc31 I completely removed and added back the interface using nmcli. Now when I try to bring it up, I get: # nmcli con up nm_wifi0 Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device lan0 not available because profile is not compatible with device (mismatching interface name)). I don't see how my lan0 is in any way connected to the wifi networking. I have: # ifconfig wifi0 wifi0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether d8:3b:bf:5a:16:53 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 104 bytes 17426 (17.0 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 I created it using the following: nmcli con add type wifi ifname wifi0 con-name nm_wifi0 autoconnect yes ssid alt_umbrella nmcli con modify nm_wifi0 802-11-wireless.mode ap 802-11-wireless.band bg ipv4.method share d nmcli con modify nm_wifi0 wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk nmcli con modify nm_wifi0 wifi-sec.psk "yeahright" lan0 is an ethernet connection for my internal lan: # ifconfig lan0 lan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 80:61:5f:05:0c:8e txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 34093347 bytes 48957495346 (45.5 GiB) RX errors 2 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 1 TX packets 4145306 bytes 3332686109 (3.1 GiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device memory 0xf6820000-f683ffff I'm re-naming interfaces using .link files: # ls /etc/systemd/network/*link /etc/systemd/network/10-lan0.link /etc/systemd/network/10-wan0.link /etc/systemd/network/10-lan1.link /etc/systemd/network/10-wifi0.link Any ideas? Let me know if you want more details etc. Thanks :) -- Patrick _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
