I installed Ubuntu 20.04 some days ago. Most things work very fine.
But if I am connected via LAN, I get the warning again and again that WiFi can't connect.
This does not make sense.
If I have LAN, then I don't need WiFi.
Of course I can disable it by hand, but an automation which works be default would be fine.
What can I do to solve this?
from manpage of Ubuntu for nmcli-examples https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man7/nmcli-examples.7.html Example 14. there is a script to make Ethernet and Wi-Fi mutually exclusive
#!/bin/bash
export LC_ALL=C
enable_disable_wifi ()
{
result=$(nmcli dev | grep "ethernet" | grep -w "connected")
if [ -n "$result" ]; then
nmcli radio wifi off
else
nmcli radio wifi on
fi
}
if [ "$2" = "up" ]; then
enable_disable_wifi
fi
if [ "$2" = "down" ]; then
enable_disable_wifi
fi
This dispatcher script makes Wi-Fi mutually exclusive with wired networking. When a wired
interface is connected, Wi-Fi will be set to airplane mode (rfkilled). When the wired
interface is disconnected, Wi-Fi will be turned back on. Name this script e.g.
70-wifi-wired-exclusive.sh and put it into /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ directory.
See NetworkManager(8) manual page for more information about NetworkManager dispatcher
scripts.
Make the new script executable: chmod a+rx /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/70-wifi-wired-exclusive.sh
