[request] display ethernet network's name about luastatus HOT 9 CLOSED

My guess is that it’s specific to the tool you use to configure your ethernet connection. Which one do you use?

from luastatus.

Which one do you use?

I use systemd-networkd.

I misclicked.

OK, but what “name”, exactly, do you want to see? Is it the name of the .network file currently active? Is it the Description= field specified in it?

E.g. do you have a shell command that would output the desired “name”?

from luastatus.

Looking at the network-linux plugin, what I'm trying to say is I'd like to have an ethernet option like the one from the wifi table which has an ssid entry. Currently, the ethernet table has only the speed entry. And the name that I'm referring to is the one configured from a network modem.

from luastatus.

Can you provide a command that outputs the desired name?

from luastatus.

I don't have any. I pressume that by only using the Linux kernel headers, you can take out the SSID of any WiFi network. I just thought if you could do the same for ethernet networks.

from luastatus.

As far as I know, there’s no such thing as SSID/“network name” equivalent for Ethernet connection.

from luastatus.

Yeah. I thought there is. Thanks anyway. Closing.
