Description alekseipesorin 2025-03-29 15:38:56 UTC

Hey, currently the UI doesn't support those kinds of networks so it shows up as wired. Editing an existing one in any way ruins it. You can see it for yourself: `nmcli connection add connection.type wifi-p2p ifname p2p-dev-wlp1s0 wifi-p2p.peer <REMOTE DEVICE MAC> autoconnect no`.

Ad-hoc seems to work but is described as "special" type. ...that's not very descriptive.

This is still in progress for Plasma, perhaps this was automatically closed when the MR for the NetworkManagerQt framework was merged.
