Thanks, Chris, this did help immensely. I've used other tools in the commandline and NetworkManager as an applet in the gui, but I've never used NetworkManager via the commandline and so I didn't even realise that the relevant applications were called "nmcli" & "nmtui" (I was trying to run `NetworkManager` in the terminal). (I wonder if this is worth throwing into the manual somewhere [unless it's there already and I missed it], since these seem to be the default networking tools included in the 'desktop package'.) -- Benjamin Slade - https://babbagefiles.xyz `(pgp_fp: ,(21BA 2AE1 28F6 DF36 110A 0E9C A320 BBE8 2B52 EE19)) '(sent by mu4e on Emacs running under GNU/Linux . https://gnu.org ) `(Choose Linux ,(Choose Freedom) . https://linux.com )
