Dan, thanks for the quick response! Quoting Dan Williams <d...@redhat.com>:
NM 0.9.10 and later added the ability to ignore an interface by interface name. NM 0.9.10 and later also split WiFi out to a plugin, which could be removed and then the wifi interface just looks like an unmanaged generic device.
I hope, that I can upgrade to > 1 some day!
But since you're using a very old version, none of those work for you :( Could you try removing wpa_supplicant? Then NM will leave the device in 'unavailable' state and shouldn't touch it after initial NM startup.
I removed wpasupplicant and get wlan0 as "unmanaged", not "unavailable": $ nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE eth0 802-3-ethernet connected usb0 802-3-ethernet unavailable wlan0 802-11-wireless unmanaged Is this the expected result? _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
