I've never used nmcli except to get ip information (see below) but |
| 11 |
setting up NM without a gui is simple. |

This is my home wifi setup: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
# cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/thsky |
| 16 |
[connection] |
| 17 |
id=thsky |
| 18 |

[802-11-wireless] |
| 22 |
ssid=myssidname |
| 23 |
mode=infrastructure |
| 24 |
security=802-11-wireless-security |
| 25 |
|

[802-11-wireless-security] |

key-mgmt=wpa-psk |
| 28 |
psk=myssidpassword |

[ipv4] |
| 31 |
method=manual |
| 32 |
address1=192.168.1.11/24,192.168.1.1 |
| 33 |
dns=192.168.1.111 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |

| 36 |

| 37 |
|

If you want to use dhcp, you simply replace the three lines in the |
| 39 |
"[ipv4]" stanza with "method=auto". |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I have a script that uses nmcli and does the following: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
# nmcli -f ip4 -m tabular -t c s id $(nmcli -t -f name c s --active) |
| 44 |
IP4:ip = 192.168.1.11/24, gw = 192.168.1.1::192.168.1.111:--:-- |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
"nmcli -t -f name c s --active" outputs the name of the active |
| 47 |
connection, "thsky". |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
"nmcli -f ip4 c s id thsky" ouputs its ipv4 settings. |
