When I try to bring up a connection called wan0 with nmcli, I'm getting this error. Wan0 is currently unplugged, want to get it configured before plugging it in. I dont know why it's talking about enp2s0, that's not anywhere in the connection config
nmcli con up wan0
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device enp2s0 not available because profile is not compatible with device (mismatching interface name)).
My connections
nmcli c
NAME  UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE
lan0  d662827e-fac3-3069-9c71-d8e9ce1cb14a  ethernet  enp3s0f0
lo    71d6ab58-a026-4502-abf4-dcd3dda0de3a  loopback  lo
wan0  c82fe863-6953-49ee-9798-07544d44d530  ethernet  --
My devices
nmcli d
DEVICE    TYPE      STATE                   CONNECTION
enp3s0f0  ethernet  connected               lan0
lo        loopback  connected (externally)  lo
enp2s0    ethernet  unavailable             --
enp3s0f1  ethernet  unavailable             --
I have the right interface name on the connection ``` nmcli c show wan0 connection.id: wan0 connection.uuid: c82fe863-6953-49ee-9798-07544d44d530 connection.stable-id: -- connection.type: 802-3-ethernet connection.interface-name: enp3s0f1
