root@radxa:~# nmcli dev wifi list
SSID BSSID MODE FREQ RATE SIGNAL SECURITY ACTIVE

but if use iwlist
, the scan is ok:

What worked for me was removing the reference to the wifi device from any of the /etc/network/interfaces
configurations.
e.g. I had a file in /etc/network/interfaces.d/something.conf
that contained
auto wlx0012456789
iface wlx... inet dhcp
(this is probably wlan0 for many users, instead of the wlx... interface I have).
Removing (or commenting out with a #
) and restarting the network manager service (sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service
) worked a treat.

I finally found the problem, wpa_supplicant was not running.
Try this:
sudo systemctl start wpa_supplicant.service
Now check the wifi list again:
nmcli dev wifi list
Connect to the network like this:
nmcli --ask connection up <ssid>
