I want to use wpa_cli to connect with AP.
If I use wpa_cli without -i option, wpa_cli will choose interface p2p-dev-wlan0 which does not really exist.
And network list between p2p-dev-wlan0 and wlan0 are not shared.
$ wpa_cli add_network
Selected interface 'p2p-dev-wlan0'
0
$ wpa_cli list_network
Selected interface 'p2p-dev-wlan0'
network id / ssid / bssid / flags
0 any [DISABLED]
$ wpa_cli -i wlan0 list_network
network id / ssid / bssid / flags
This is very annoying to me.
How can I make wpa_cli choose wlan0 rather than p2p-dev-wlan0 in default?

even I had the same problem, the only workaround which helped me was to use -i with wpa_cli as that was the only solution to select the interface wlan0. Because wpa_supplicant will select the 1st interface in the interface list (your can check the interface list in wpa_cli using the command:- interface,which will list your interfaces). I just wanted to tell even I'm annoyed with the same thing from weeks and the only solution is to use wpa_cli -i {your commands} I know this is not an answer but as I was on the same boat I came here, or if you did find any solution for the same do post it as ma – vishal – 2019-08-19T10:45:14.200
