[15:26] <kinghat> when i installed my server i also setup the wifi and it made the config in: /etc/netplan/00-installer-config-wifi.yaml. is there a way to make it forget the wifi its connected to but not disable the interface so i can use it for something else, like pass into a container?
[15:31] <patdk-lap> how are those two options different?
[15:32] <patdk-lap> if you pass it to a container matters not if it is disabled or not
[15:32] <patdk-lap> but normally containers have no rights over modifing the network stack, so you would need it configured before hand
[15:32] <patdk-lap> if you give the container permissions to do so though, it doesn't matter
[15:35] <kinghat> oh ok. i figured disabling the interface would be it unusable to containers.
[15:35] <kinghat> is there a proper way to disable it?
[15:41] <patdk-lap> not sure how to disable it back to boot time state with netplan
[15:41] <patdk-lap> if you remove it from the config, it will just leave it alone
[15:41] <kinghat> looks like there is a tlp package which lets you do "wifi on/off".
[15:41] <patdk-lap> but I'm not really understand what the goal is you want
[15:43] <kinghat> i want it to disconnect or forget my wifi credentials because im trying to use the wifi in a container which needs to make an ap to jailbreak an iot device. i wasnt able to get it working(the jailbreak) and some have said the interface needs to be disconnected from wifi first.
[15:43] <kinghat> no idea if it makes an actual difference but wanted to test to make sure before i move on to other options.
[15:44] <kinghat> also, i wasnt using the wifi interface as its using the eth interface.
[16:13] <kinghat> just used `ip link set dev wlp2s0 down` for now
