@mpous I tried it on two different linux machines, both current Ubuntu LTS (I can find the exact release if you think it matters). Both wifi connected, but neither seem to have any issues with other cli endpoints.
I have been having to use this command a lot because of the other issue you have been helping me with (link). Because I am bouncing between base images to try to get the camera stack working, I prefer the preload pathway to avoid getting the pi to d/l a ~1.5GB image “update”, its just much faster for testing.
