RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Beniamino Galvani 2017-06-11 21:01:01 UTC 
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.
