Unless of course there is some paranoid firewall that considers ICMP malicious and therefore blocks pings. (We had that at university here. In the meantime they at least opened outgoing pings, but even those were initially blocked. Go figure) As for the original suggestion using `nmcli` I would probably consider this a rather rude dependency (I'm very happy with network manager on my desktop machines, but there's other systems as well). Even if the package you are talking about is "solely" targeted at desktop machines (the other week I learned the hard way that you cannot run some "software center" on the raspberry pi (based on bullseye) unless `nmcli` reported connectivity, even though the system was clearly online). I very much agree with Simon's sentiment about checking your *actual* prerequisites. mfh.her.fsr IOhannes
