I am currently looking into contributing to this codebase. I am currently just looking around but i might be able to look into this!

[ViktorPopp]

Wait. if you use cabled you wont need this? What would you use it for?

[s-adi-dev]

Well thats the same question i wanted to ask

[sentakuhm]

Wait. if you use cabled you wont need this? What would you use it for?

to be managed in same window and better looking.

[ViktorPopp]

But what part of Ethernet do you need to manage @sentakuhm? can you come with an example?

I guess he is talking about the properties that user can view about network like security, speed , etc

[ViktorPopp]

Yeah okay. That makes sense.

[mustaruhtinas]

Yes, it would be useful.
With nmcli and nmtui one can also manage wired connections. It's not only about viewing properties, but also setting them, along with enabling/disabling the interface and the connection itself.

[ViktorPopp]

Ah I guess that will be useful.

Hello! Just a passerby looking for a gui replacement for nmtui for my rice. I thought implementing this issue would be helpful for me as well to make this a little closer to nmtui. @s-adi-dev if you don't mind, may I be assigned for this issue? I'll see what I can do about implementing this, thank you!

[s-adi-dev]

@ponleou Hey man! Sure, go ahead, I don’t mind at all. Honestly, I haven’t been able to give much time to my projects lately because of some personal issues, so I really appreciate you taking this up. Feel free to create a PR, I’d be happy to review and merge it. Thanks a lot!

Hello, the PR has been made. Currently, it has the feature to connect and disconnect to the ethernet, similar to nmtui and displays some information that is available from nmcli which includes status, ip address, and mac address. Unfortunately, nmcli includes a very limited range of information for wired connections, though other tools like ethtool exposes more. @sentakuhm @mustaruhtinas @s-adi-dev, I would love to hear your initial ideas on this feature and improvements I could add to the PR.
