How to find out the interface name from GUI?

[theking2 (John King)]

On my wired connection I see:

I need the name of the interface device for Virtual Manager. Is it available in the Control Center?

I don’t think so—this only shows info at the level of “connections”, not interfaces from what I know. You can use nmcli, if that’ll work for you:

nmcli dev
nmcli con

You can easily see the interfaces with the command ip address

Thanks to yall. I wonder why this information is not in the gui…

The original gui app from the NetworkManager project is installed by the package nm-connection-editor and nm-connection-editor-desktop. This will show the network device name.
