How to disable NetworkManager.wifi.share.open attempts?

I keep getting weird errors/warnings in the output of journalctl:

Code: Select all

Aug 14 12:13:09 nighthawk NetworkManager[835]: <warn>  [1502705589.7860] error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open: Authorization check failed: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying

The reason it is weird is that the desktop has solely an eth card inside and no wifi, hence I don't understand why it keeps trying to "open" what is not there. Maybe I can software disable wifi somewhere but I don't see where (LM 18.1 Cinnamon).

Edit: to clarify further nmcli general status, shows that wifi-hw is enabled. Where?

Code: Select all

STATE      CONNECTIVITY  WIFI-HW  WIFI      WWAN-HW  WWAN    
connected  full          enabled  disabled  enabled  enabled

           IF: enp3s0 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full
           mac:xxxxxx(doesn't matter)

Also, I thought rfkill might show something but the output of rfkill list all is a blank.

Edit:: I am speculating if the unsuccessful attempts to authorize what is absent have anything to do with recently increased boot time as per this thread.
