The MACs of the device and the connection didn't match

When using nmcli connection up MyNetwork ifname wlan0 I get this error

 Error: device 'wlan0' not compatible with connection 'MyNetwork':The MACs of the device and the connection didn't match..

The interface used to activate the network was another one. But how do I allow every interface to have access to that connection using that nmcli command?

Solution

  • Using nmcli, the only available way to do what I wanted is actually creating a new connection for every interface.
