New unknown item appears in Network Connections
by Seniark from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D03V)
I have Manjaro XFCE on my laptop (an older model from 2013, Dell Inspiron 3521).
Not long ago I tried to use my mobile phone's internet connection and to tether it on my laptop. This didn't work for WiFi, so I tried to do it over bluetooth. I read somewhere that this should be typed into the terminal to enable tethering over bluetooth (and I'm not sure if that's correct):
Code:dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0/dev_xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx org.bluez.Network1.Connect string:'nap'where xx:x:xx:xx:xx:xx is I guess your device's bluetooth number/address.
I did that and it didn't work, so I kinda gave up on the whole tethering thing. However, ever since I typed that line into the terminal, whenever I restart the computer I see in my Network connections a new item called Bridge" and then pan1" as the subitem (please see the attached picture).

Since I don't have a need for bluetooth tethering anymore (and it doesn't seem to be working anyway), I would like to get rid of this Bridge" and pan1" items and of course I don't want any bluetooth service to be running/to be open because it might unnecessarily expose my laptop to the outside hacker attacks.
Even if I delete this item (pan1) from network connections it will always reappear after the computer is restarted.
Could somebody please help with this?
Also, my bluetooth icon in the system tray ALWAYS turns itself on after every Manjaro restart even though I have uncommented the line "AutoEnable=false" in this file: /etc/bluetooth/main.conf.

How to make Manjaro remember that I want bluetooth to be turned off after every reboot?
