You can verify your connection with nmcli general status or nmcli device status, which should show a connected state. EthernetĮthernet should be plug and play (assuming rvice is enabled)-just plug a working Ethernet cable into your computer (potentially via a USB adapter) and NetworkManager should take care of the rest. You can unblock it with rfkill unblock wifi see man rfkill for more information.Ĭheck-in point: The ip link command lists both a wireless and Ethernet network interface (in addition to the loopback interface lo). If ip link shows a wireless interface, but its status shows status DOWN, your Wi-Fi might be blocked. Then consult ArchWiki: Network configuration/Wireless and the references therein to see if your network card should be using a different kernel driver.
#Arch linux network manager driver#
This falls beyond the scope of this guide-you will need to know the manufacturer and model of your wireless network card (use lspci -v (or lsusb -v if the wireless device is connected via USB) and search the output for “Network controller”) and what kernel driver is currently handling the network card device (use lspci -k or lsusb -k).
#Arch linux network manager install#
If ip link does not show a wireless interface, your wireless network card probably requires a kernel driver that does not ship by default with Arch, and you will have to install this kernel driver and load the corresponding kernel module.
In the above example lo is my loopback interface, enp0s31f6 is my Ethernet interface, and wlp4s0 is my wireless interface. Wired network interfaces are conventionally prefixed with en and wireless interfaces with wl, Disable currently running network daemons (if needed)Ģ: enp0s31f6 #.Use systemd-resolved for DNS resolution.Arch Wiki: Network Configuration has useful general networking information for Arch Linux.Also consider ArchWiki: NetworkManager, but the coverage of relevant topics is somewhat patchy at the time of writing.Of course there is always man NetworkManager and man nmcli and the references therein.For a comprehensive Linux networking guide, I recommend the Fedora documentation project’s Networking Guide.įor NetworkManager in particular, see the section on Using the NetworkManager Command Line Tool, nmcli.In practice, NM provides “set it and forget it” functionality-after connecting to a network on a given network interface, NM remembers the connection and will automatically connect you in the future (unless you disable automatic connection, of course).
NetworkManager manages your network interfaces, detects available connections and automatically connects network devices when connections for the device become available. Goal: Connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet using NetworkManager from the command line.Ībout: For our current purposes, NetworkManager is a network management tool that provides easy automatic connection to the Internet.
