Hi,

Thanks! I was expecting to find the IP interface information at
connection level (together with IP addresses, routes, ..., which are
also listed there). But obviously my expectation was wrong.

The following works (basic version without error handling in case
<MYCONN> isn't connected):

IFACE=$(nmcli -g GENERAL.DEVICES con show <MYCONN>)
IP_IFACE=$(nmcli -g GENERAL.IP-IFACE dev show "$IFACE")
echo $IP_IFACE

Best wishes,
Joachim
