Network-manager broken for desktop Ubuntu

it has in fact been tested on classic systems and non-Dell hardware

You noticed that the reviews on the store are 11 1-star and a few 2 and 3-star, right? And there’s a bunch of comments saying it doesn’t work. Granted, it’s not clear these people tried very hard or used the CLI tool. But it doesn’t seem to be working for most people in the wild? Have you tried?

@abeato when I tried the non-snap deb version 1.10.6, I didn’t see any setting the way I could see a setting for wake-on-lan (ethernet, described at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wake-on-LAN#NetworkManager).

I tried the 1.10.6 snap version as suggested and it’s still broken. I didn’t see any dmesg errors in this case, but I couldn’t connect - either to the CLI or the internet. The dmesg logs you see here are from when I was trying the 1.2.2 version, as you can see from the difference in time logs - 13:10 versus 13.20 for active.
