Editing Openai/6934a187-1310-8008-b3e5-5172fc2150b5 (section)

==== ### ====

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

</syntaxhighlight>

You might see a section like:

<syntaxhighlight>[ifupdown]
managed=false

</syntaxhighlight>
* If managed=false, NetworkManager will ignore interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces.

===== <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf =====

</syntaxhighlight>

Change (or add) this section:

<syntaxhighlight>[ifupdown]
managed=true

</syntaxhighlight>

Save the file.

===== <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager =====

</syntaxhighlight>

===== <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">nmcli device status =====

</syntaxhighlight>
* wlan0 should now appear as disconnected, not unmanaged.

===== <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">nmcli device wifi rescan =====
nmcli device wifi list
nmcli device wifi connect "SSID" password "your_password"

</syntaxhighlight>

💡 Tip: After this, NetworkManager should automatically manage your Wi-Fi on boot.

If you want, I can also show a quick temporary way to force nmcli to manage wlan0 without editing config — useful if you just want to get online right now. Do you want me to show that?
