Hm. What if I have a disfunctional desktop on the host and can login via console only? Last time I had to do this (as root), I had no network connection. And there was no "cable connect" available at this location, only WLAN.
This was nearly a year ago, and I could not figure out how to activate WLAN from command line with NM. Did the software change in that respect?
nmtui is my main NM client. It's more agile and responsive that any applet included in the desktops... and it works in good old console. Of course, it doesn't help if nmtui is not installed and you have to configure the network to install it. ;-)
That's what I found out when googling with my cellphone: a cli exists (I guess I found nmcli), but was not installed on my host. And no second host available and of course no USB stick (or adaptor from mini to standard SD)... One gets frustrated here ;) Werner --
