The access point is listed by "nmcli dev wifi", but if I try to connect to it with "nmcli con up myssid" it says the connection is unknown. Indeed, it is not listed in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ . The only connection I was able to use was "Auto eth0", which was automatically created for me.

Thank you. When I forgot to type on the mail, but I did use "id" on my system, no luck.

How to I get the connection name (or UUID) from NM if the wireless networks don't show up in "nmcli con list"?

Thanks for your attention,
