On Fedora version 38, when wireless connection is turned off, NetworkManager incorrectly shows the system as connected to a wired connection instead. This causes the wired network icon to display in the top bar even with no physical wired connection. This happens whether WiFi is disabled via GUI toggle or using 'nmcli radio wifi off'. No actual wired connection profiles exist. Already tried removing any wired profiles from NetworkManager which did not resolve. Steps to Reproduce: Connect to WiFi network normally Disable WiFi using GUI toggle or 'nmcli radio wifi off' Wired network icon appears in top bar Expected behavior: Wired network should not show as connected when wireless is disabled. Additional details: NetworkManager version: 1.42.8-1.fc38 Kernel version: 6.4.7-200.fc38.x86_64 update: when i run: "$nmcli networking off && nmcli networking on" when wifi is on,it solves the problem till next reboot.
Please show the output of "nmcli connection; nmcli device; ip a" when the issue happens.
