18.04 Cannot disconnect from wifi network (eduroam)

Question

I have set up my linux laptop to use the infamous and astoundingly bad eduroam network, using their CAT software (it's a python script).

Now I can't connect to other wifi networks or even disconnect from this network whenever it is available.

I click on connect, and nothing happens. There is no button to disconnect from the network.

I tried removing the file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections as explained here. It still won't forget the network.

Any suggestions?

nmcli connection down id edo.wifi.2407450 I hope this was the connection you ment. — nobody, Jul 23 '20 at 15:40

To disconnect from the network after removing the file from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, I had to restart the network manager:

sudo service network-manager restart

and then it worked.
