Hi All,
Fedora 43
$ ifconfig | grep enp0
enp0s31f6: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
$ nmcli connection modify enp0s31f6 autoconnect yes
Error: unknown connection 'enp0s31f6'.
If you have the bash-completion package installed, you can type:
nmcli con mod [tab] [tab]
and it should show you the interfaces it manages. If enp0s31f6 isn't
there, that means that NetworkManager is not managing it.
You can use "nmcli connection show" to see what interfaces
NetworkManager knows about.
Huh???
I would also like to know how to get nmcli to tell me if
autoconnect is on or off
nmcli connection show enp0s31f6 | grep connection.autoconnect

Hi Thomas,
nmcli connection show enp0s31f6 | grep connection.autoconnect
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
Ethernet connection 1 c525101f-d4f5-40a6-b6ae-8fa1ae927e86 ethernet

Ah Ha! I was calling it the "type" instead of the "Name".
I was using search.brave.com's AI.
# nmcli connection modify "Ethernet connection 1" autoconnect yes
<worked>
# nmcli connection show enp0s31f6 | grep connection.autoconnect:
Error: enp0s31f6 - no such connection profile.
/home/tony# nmcli connection show "Ethernet connection 1" | grep
connection.autoconnect:
connection.autoconnect: yes
Thank you!

Awesome, I'm so glad to hear it!
Happy Fedora-ing! ;-)
