Well..... I still don't think enough information has been supplied. If you do a nmcli connection you should see an "ethernet" entry. Example, on my system... NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE enp2s0 22f19ca8-c33d-31ea-9a32-a4b1309d0b06 ethernet enp2s0 And then do... nmcli connection show (device-name) -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
