> It is not possible to activate more than one wired connection at the same time
Can you describe specifically what's not working when you tried it, and how you reached this conclusion? Also CCing someone I know has this hardware.

I already wrote "If I connect to enxf2868cb519fc, my device, from the KDE Network settings, then the connection to enp57s0f1 is dropped."
what I meant is that, from the settings
* when I activate the connection of enxf2868cb519fc, then the connection of enp57s0f1 is deactivated.
* when I activate the connection of enp57s0f1, then the connection of enxf2868cb519fc is deactivated.
Does the same happen when you connect on the commandline using "nmcli connection up <name>"? I do not know what the correct name is, "nmcli connection up enx6692f1a7e0e0" outputs "Error: unknown connection 'enx6692f1a7e0e0'" and "nmcli connection show" prints
____
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
Wired connection 1 6013a7e2-8e42-4922-94b0-a6ca1f608acc ethernet enp57s0f1

and some saved wireless connections
If I execute nmcli without further parameters, the device appears as

Hello, what additional information should I provide? setting back to reported |
Hello, I hope I'm reporting a bug to the correct component, if not, please move it where it is appropriate. SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect PC to network via cable 2. try to configure a second wired connection OBSERVED RESULT It is not possible to activate more than one wired connection at the same time EXPECTED RESULT It should be possible to activate more than one wired connection at the same time SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 13 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My PC is connected to the network via cable, this is managed by KDE Plasma without issues. I also have a reMarkable; a device that when connected to the PC, is recognized as an additional wired connection, and the device is reachable at a specific ip address. The output of "ip a", after attaching the device is the following ---- 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp57s0f1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 80:fa:5b:69:6c:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname enx80fa5b696c40 inet 192.168.178.121/24 brd 192.168.178.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp57s0f1 valid_lft 845353sec preferred_lft 845353sec inet6 fe80::82fa:5bff:fe69:6c40/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: wlp58s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether ce:c4:fe:fd:52:76 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr 3c:6a:a7:1b:d8:ca altname wlx3c6aa71bd8ca 6: enxf2868cb519fc: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether f2:86:8c:b5:19:fc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ---- If I connect to enxf2868cb519fc, my device, from the KDE Network settings, then the connection to enp57s0f1 is dropped. Apparently it is not possible to activate both connections from KDE. My current workaround is to open a console and execute "dhcpcd" as administrator, after a moment both connections are active, and also shown as such from the KDE Plasma settings.
