The NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ Developer Kit <https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-nano-developer-kit> looks like quite an interesting competitor to the R-Pi4<https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/> ...if you like heat sinks 😉 Regarding...
...the "nmcli" [NetworkManager command line interface] tool to control the network manager from the console. Really neat!
...according the wikipedia article on NetworkManager<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetworkManager>... Red Hat initiated the NetworkManager project in 2004 with the goal of enabling Linux users to deal more easily with modern networking needs, particularly wireless networking. nmcli is NetworkManager's built-in command-line interface utility that was added in 2010. nmcli allows easy display of NetworkManager's current status, manage connections and devices, monitor connections. NetworkManager and its suite of utilities ship with the Ubuntu distros, and I suspect with most other major distros. A $ nm <tab> on an Ubuntu console reveals... ian(a)ian:~$ nm nm nm-connection-editor nmtui-edit nm-applet nm-online nmtui-hostname nmblookup nmtui nmcli nmtui-connect ...and it's under the control of systemctl... ian(a)ian:~$ systemctl status NetworkManager ● NetworkManager.service - Network Manager Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled; vendo> Active: active (running) since Thu 2020-10-01 07:31:07 NZDT; 10h ago Docs: man:NetworkManager(8) Main PID: 848 (NetworkManager) Tasks: 3 (limit: 19043) Memory: 13.7M CGroup: /system.slice/NetworkManager.service └─848 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon Possibly NetworkManager, and its utilities like nmcli and its GUI equivalent are the way forward in the world of Linux, and the other, older, networking utilities can be put to rest ? cheers, Ian.
