NM depends on netlink which depends on the hardware driver properly reporting carrier presence -- this would be a driver bug for the particular ethernet device on that board.

This occurs inconsistently and doesn't seem to simply occur after some regular interval. In addition, network-manager incorrectly displays a "connecting wifi" icon while it tries to connect to the wired connection. This bug does not affect actual connectivity and is purely cosmetic. However, it is annoying because the "wired network - disconnected" overlay will appear repeatedly.
