Description Beniamino Galvani 2017-06-11 17:01:01 EDT

Description of problem:
When running one of:

  nmcli device wifi list ifname wlan0
  nmcli device wifi connect <SSID> ifname wlan0

nmcli wrongly adds the device name to the output. This can break scripts that parse the output of the above commands.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.8.0-6


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:

 # nmcli device wifi list ifname wlan0
 wlan0
 IN-USE  SSID    MODE   CHAN  RATE        SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY
 *       aoeu    Infra  1     130 Mbit/s  90      ▂▄▆█  WPA2


 # nmcli device wifi connect ssid ifname wlan0
 wlan0
 Device 'wlan0' successfully activated with '77d008bf-6a7b-40bf-a30c-cec6f0d16a36'.


Expected results:
The 'wlan0' line shouldn't be there.
