According to the manual page [1], the commandI just got a travel router (GL.iNET 750S), a very nifty little thing.
[..]
I found out I must first do below, and _then_ I see the network in my network manager menu.Any idea why this is, or how to do it such that it sees the network immediately? I'm guessing it's not listing the wifi since it's a network that doesn't have internet (yet)?Code:
nmcli dev wifi
nmcli device wifi:As you can see, the command triggers a network scan.[..]
wifi [list [--rescan | auto | no | yes] [ifname ifname] [bssid BSSID]]
List available Wi-Fi access points. The ifname and bssid options can be used to list APs for a particular
interface or with a specific BSSID, respectively.
By default, nmcli ensures that the access point list is no older than 30 seconds and triggers a network scan
if necessary. The --rescan can be used to either force or disable the scan regardless of how fresh the access
point list is.
[..]
That's why the wireless network name generated by the router is recognised by Debian's network manager as soon as you run the command.
