2/3
Aber es gab diverse Issues...
#RaspAP z.B. ist trotz eigentlich guter Funktionalität für mich nicht zu gebrauchen. Leaken der echten IP in einigen #VPN Situationen - vor allem aber gibts mit RaspAP derzeit bekannte Stabilitätsprobleme mit dem aktuellen #RaspberryOS auf dem #RaspberryPiPico.

Und jetzt scripte ich mir seit 2 Tagen nen Wolf alle RaspAP Funktionalität mittels #NetworkManager (#nmcli), #dnsmasq und #iptables zu ersetzen.

NMCLI Love and Hate
I understand and respect what the Network Manager crew was trying to do, but for little embededed devices/servers needing bespoke configs.. mostly managed by scripts and command lines. nmcli is an obtuse opaque way to do things, and does not always match the GUI. Am finding my way... slowly. Will admit, for daily driver use on a laptop/desktop, Network Manager is great. #nmcli #cli #linux #embedded

Setup -> I have a #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPiZero2W running #linux #pios #RaspberryPiOS #headless

Aim: I want the pi to always offer a #hotspot #wifihotspot on #boot
based on the command

nmcli device wifi hotspot ssid pizerohotspot password my_password

Is this below a bad solution ?? -> I came up with this solution in the link below using a .service but fear it shows I am clueless? Is there a better way? Thanks!

NetworkManager 1.50 Released with Compelling Set of Changes

A new version of NetworkManager – used by most Linux distributions (including Ubuntu) to manage wired and wireless network connections – was released this week. NetworkManager 1.50 won’t be included in Ubuntu 24.10 (that ships with v1.48) but I think some of the changes it makes may be worth knowing about all the same. Notably, NetworkManager 1.50 now formally deprecates support for dhclient in favour of its own internal DHCP client. The former is now no longer be built “…unless explicitely (sic) enabled, and will be removed in a future release.” Will this have a major issue? Unlikely; NetworkManager began :sys_more_orange:

#nmcli didn't let me connect to a different wifi network, telling me ssid doesn't exist, although it clearly did. #iwd let me connect to it, the only difference I noticed, instead of using wlp2s0 as a device it uses wlan0. Really clueless sometimes...

there isn't a workaround yet to get rid of this invalid UUID of the network manager connection on It seems that an random number generator is messed up, so there is always this same UUID appearing. I can't add more than one connection without deleting.

Also you can import and enable/disable VPN connections from the command-line on Linux using nmcli:

$ nmcli connection import type openvpn file path/to/file.ovpn
$ nm-connection-editor # make changes
$ nmcli connection up VPNname
$ nmcli connection down VPNname

#linux #vpn #openvpn #hackthebox #tryhackme #nmcli #networkmanager

After fighting with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, on a mesh WiFi network, for 2 weeks. I think I finally fixed the issue. Switched from dhcpd to Network Manager, specified the BSSID in the nmcli connection instead of the SSID. The network connection hasn't dropped in over 24 hours now.

::: Forgot your WiFi password? - Find that password of your connected network in Linux 📶

Open the terminal & use these commands.

Ubuntu:

ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

------

The ones using Nmcli (for example Solus):

nmcli device wifi show-password

(This way you even get a QR code) 💥

Here's a little two-liner function I just wrote to let me pick and connect to a WiFi network.
Let me know what I could improve 🙏
(Disclaimer: yes I know for the moment this will only work under the condition that I am not yet successfully connected to another network, otherwise it will break at the awk part. Again, any suggestions are welcome 😁)

wificon() {
select=$(nmcli d wifi list | fzf | awk '{ print $2}') &&
nmcli d wifi connect $select
}

Pro tip: use nmcli(1) to turn your computer into a Wi-Fi hotspot from a command line, then scan QR code to connect your phone!

I decided to futz around with setting up a network-level #IPv6 tunnel
yesterday and wrote up the steps. Mostly this is just to help me
remember next time I end up doing the same thing, but maybe the
#edgerouter or #nmcli bits will be of use to someone else.

Und gelöst. Hatte die DNS Einstellung versemmelt.

Außerdem gelernt, dass es das nützliche Tool #nmcli gibt, mit "nmcli connection import" kann man die Verbindung tatsächlich mit den conf-file einladen.

Kein #wlogout in den #openSUSE Repositories. Scheinbar wird an wlogout nicht mehr entwickelt. Frage mich ob es eine Alternative gibt?

Ansonsten geht es mit #sway Schritt für Schritt voran. Als Dateimanager habe ich vifm gewählt. Wobei es Probleme mit xterm gab, die ich - glaube ich - im Griff habe.

#Wireguard habe ich mit #nmcli in den Griff bekommen. Manche Seiten wurden nicht geladen, aber das Ändern der MTU schaffte Abhilfe.

We had a chance to delve a bit, and the 'nmcli' command seems like a way to examine #MACAddresses.

So that's half the trick, but it looks like this distro or driver or network adaptor, we are working with atm, doesn't reset the #MACAddress

What's the point of creating smooth transitions, maintaining layers of compatibility, keeping two things work in parallel and giving people time to learn new ways of doing things, if they only start to learn those new ways when all of that old deprecated functionality is finally removed?

And then complain how "suddenly" they have to do a hard switch to a new technology without any leeway.

That leeway has been given to you 5 years ago, you used it all for nothing!
