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)).
