Description Thomas Haller 2016-09-23 09:38:41 UTC

Regression.


$ nmcli device modify wlp3s0 managed yes
Error: invalid <setting>.<property> 'managed'.

also:

$ nmcli device modify wlp3s0 managed no
Error: Reading applied connection from device 'wlp3s0' (/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2) failed: Device is not activated



$ nmcli device modify wlp3s0 autoconnect yes
Connection successfully reapplied to device 'wlp3s0'.

^^ this is wrong too.

I mixed it up...


should be `nmcli device set $NAME managed`...

`nmcli device modify` does something different.


It seems ugly to me that we have "set" and "modify" sub-commands.
