I have a laptop and desktop, both running Arch linux. On the laptop, I can run (as a non-root user):

iw dev wlp3s0 link

This outputs all the expected information.

On the desktop, running the same command gives the SSID and frequency, followed by

command failed: Operation not permitted (-1)

I suspected that this was because the laptop was set up to allow sudo access without a password, but adding that on the desktop didn't fix it.

Running the same command as root on the desktop (or with sudo) works as expected.

What sort of configuration am I missing on the desktop here?

  • I realise I can write a shell script which executes "sudo iw" for me and alias that, however that's not solving the underlying problem. Commented May 4, 2020 at 16:44
