Expected Results

  1. nmcli nm status should inform about actual Network Manager state. "WIFI" should reflect GUI status and "WIFI-HARDWARE" hardware status.
  2. Check if wireless is disabled and re-enabled using ip link and iwconfig commands.
  3. nmcli con list should show correct "NAME and "TYPE", compare it with your desktop GUI.
  4. Connection can be activated and deactivated properly.
  5. "nmcli" and "ip" interfaces state should match. "nmcli" should inform correctly about interfaces state.
  6. Compare results with iwlist scan command. "nmcli" should provide same informations.
  7. You can successfully connect and disconnect from wireless network.
