Hi, UUIDS is a variable containing all the "connection.uuid"s for your Wi- Fi profiles. Then, the first "for" iterates over them, and for each connection profile it prints 5 fields (so you see what is configured in these profiles). The second, itereates over the same profiles, but clears the connection.interface-name and wifi.mac-address properties. These two properties (among others) tie a connection profile to a certain device, by clearing them, the profile is applicable for any device, regardless of the interface name and MAC address. See `man nm-settings` for the properties. And see `man nmcli` or just `nmcli help` for info about nmcli.

How to deal with a new Wifi Adapter?
Hi, I'm currently running Fedora 29 and my embedded wifi adapter is failing. So I bought a USB Wifi adapter, which seems to be working well.. Except for one problem: Network Manager does not know to apply all my existing wifi connection information to the new adapter. Short of going through each connection, changing it to the new adapter, then deleting the " 2" network that gets created --- is there some way to tell NM to apply all wifi networks to all wifi adapters? In a similar vein, is there a way to tell NM to disable to embedded wifi adapter?
