To determine the network interface type for use in the `Type=` directive, it is more concise to use the `list` command. Whereas, the `status` command requires an interface parameter.
For example, on a RaspberryPi 4 the following shows that the `wlan0` interface type `wlan` is more coveniently listed by the `list` command.
```
root@raspberrypi4-64:~# networkctl list
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP
1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged
2 eth0 ether routable configured
3 wlan0 wlan off unmanaged
3 links listed.
```
Whereas the `networkctl status` command doesn't include this information.
```
root@raspberrypi4-64:~# networkctl status
● State: routable
Address: 192.168.1.141 on eth0
fd8b:8779:b7a4::f43 on eth0
fd8b:8779:b7a4:0:dea6:32ff:febe:d1ce on eth0
fe80::dea6:32ff:febe:d1ce on eth0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (CZ.NIC, z.s.p.o.) on eth0

```
To get the interface type using the `status` command you need to specify an additional argument.
```
root@raspberrypi4-64:~# networkctl status wlan0
● 3: wlan0
