Well, that is wrong.... You should see something like this.... My VM has an ethernet and wifi connection currently up... [egreshko@f31k ~]$ nmcli connection NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE eth0 b927188e-d48c-3a0d-85a9-6cb1c24418ab ethernet enp1s0 silly 4031fe2b-e441-4025-813f-01279315e760 wifi wlp0s29f7u3 I would recommend deleting the connection. You could probably just delete the file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Then just recreating it via the NM GUI, if you can. > > Your next request generated a lot more: > > And missing quit a bit of stuff.... In particular a section such as....
