 I'm going to close this bug since the latest network-manager version has
 a vastly improvde CLI, including the ability to create new connections,
 a better man page and bash completion.

Thank you for the notice, I would have wanted to dig into the upstream
changelog to find out the first version that introduced the possibility
for nmcli to add a Wi-Fi connection, but RL delayed me :-(

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Bug#641902: network-manager: please provide a *full* CLI (with a proper name)

2011-09-17 Thread Luca Capello 
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi there!

First, I do not understand why the CLI binary is called nmcli (without
the dash) when nm-online and nm-tool have the nm- prefix.  This is
counterintuitive, for the least.

Second, AFAIK nmcli can not act as a full CLI replacement for nm-applet
(or any other GUI equivalent) given that there is no way to *create* a
connection, which is very bad: I do not have any panel installed, which
means that I can not use network-manager.

Please note that this is not #629913 and that I *want* to use
network-manager (I am tired of manual configurations ;-) ), but not
installing (IMHO unnecessary) GUIs.  This is why I reported this bug as
wishlist.

BTW, I am sorry if I have reported this bug only now, feel free to
adjust the version:
