NetworkUnmanager

Within NetworkManager it is possible to unmanage an interface, this is very useful if you would like to continue using Network manager when using wireless tools for a specific interface.

Create_ap and by extension Berate_ap do this automatically for you on whichever interface you are using. Sometimes you would like to just toggle the management of a specific interface for other tools.

Using the code from Create_ap this is a small script to just toggle the managed and unmanaged status of a interface for Wireless testing.

Usage

sudo unmanage_interface -i <Interface>

Installation

Add unmanage_interface to your path in your .rc file

export PATH=/path/to/unmanage_interface:$PATH

or create a symlink in your bin directory

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /path/to/unmanage_interface unmanage_interface
