I took my F26 cubieboard to a hackathon where all they have here is wireless.
So I put in a wifi usb dongle and see wlan0 available:
# nmcli device status
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
eth0 ethernet unavailable --
lo loopback unmanaged --
wlan0 wifi unmanaged --
I create a connection:
nmcli con add con-name cobo ifname wlan0 type wifi ssid CoboFree
(CoboFree is the SSID I am using here on my notebook)
# nmcli connection show
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
cobo d9e7a648-0d48-4353-856f-7c3a3dd3db3b 802-11-wireless --
eth0 9699134e-a93c-32fb-b518-a0dc17cc78a3 802-3-ethernet --
I then try to bring the connection up:
# nmcli con up cobo Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection.
nmcli device wifi list
is an empty list
What am I missing here. I have used mncli on other builds in the past. This is my first try with this image.
thanks
Bob

I use "nmcli device wifi connect SSID-Name password wireless-password" regularly on F-26 without issue to connect to wireless networks

Is this with minimal server? Perhaps I am missing something?

I really think there is something wrong/missing with this F26 minimal server for wifi support.
With my F26-Xfce image:
# nmcli dev status DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION eth0 ethernet connected Wired connection 1 wlan0 wifi disconnected -- lo loopback unmanaged -- [root@cubie2 ~]# nmcli device wifi list * SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY HTTNET Infra 11 54 Mbit/s 100 ▂▄▆█ WPA2
Then I put in my Centos7-arm image:
# nmcli dev status DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION eth0 ethernet connected eth0 wlan0 wifi disconnected -- lo loopback unmanaged -- [root@z9m9z ~]# nmcli device wifi list * SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY HTTNET Infra 11 54 Mbit/s 100 **** WPA2
So it is not the hardware. It is the server minimal image. What do I need to add to it?
thanks

Peter,
I just put down a fresh image:
fedora-arm-image-installer --image=/home/rgm/arm/Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz --target=Cubieboard2 --media=/dev/sdb --norootpass --selinux=ON --addconsole
booted up via a USBTTY dongle, set the timezone, hostname, and root password. Continued and logged in.
No dnf update. This is the software levels shipped.
After logging in, inserted the wifi USB dongle and and same bad results. So I believe there is some key component missing for wifi support via nmcli in the minimal server. It works just fine with the F26-Xfce image and the Centos7-arm image.
So please give me some idea of what may be missing. I am happy to test installing and getting this working. In fact I really NEED to get this working by Nov 5 when I leave for pre-IETF travel...
thanks
Bob
