Networking

DevelOS uses NetworkManager for wired and wireless networking. Use nmcli from a terminal to connect to Wi-Fi, inspect devices, and manage saved connections.

Check Status

nmcli device status
nmcli connection show

Connect To Wi-Fi

List nearby networks:

nmcli device wifi list

Connect to a protected network:

nmcli device wifi connect "SSID" password "password"

For open networks, omit the password:

nmcli device wifi connect "SSID"

Reconnect Later

NetworkManager saves successful connections. To reconnect manually:

nmcli connection up "SSID"

Troubleshooting

Check that NetworkManager is running:

systemctl status NetworkManager.service

If Wi-Fi is blocked, inspect rfkill state:

rfkill list
rfkill unblock wifi
