Network manager and P2P connection

#1 Post by mm3100 »

Hello everyone,
After installing Bullseye I started getting this warning in journal

Code: Select all

NetworkManager[794]: <warn>  [1622878919.4892] sup-iface[70d3a50bc040e55d,4,wlo1]: call-p2p-cancel: failed with P2P cancel failed
It appears after connecting to wifi. And looking in nmcli device status

Code: Select all

wlo1          wifi      connected     ID817423     
p2p-dev-wlo1  wifi-p2p  disconnected  --    
When trying to connect manually to p2p I get

Code: Select all

Error: Failed to add/activate new connection: A 'wifi-p2p' setting is required if no Peer path was given
I don't remember using p2p on same network before, but doesn't sound bad. Googling didn't help me much with what should be done to enable it. Or if I don't need it, how to disable it.

Any help is welcomed.

I managed to make a small progress but still couldn't figure how to make it work :(
first you'll have to create a new connection profile :

Code: Select all

nmcli connection add type wifi-p2p ifname p2p-dev-wlo1 wifi-p2p-peer [mac address of the device you want to connect to]
reading nm-setting-nmcli manual pages will make things clearer.
