Sorry, my fault. I was so deep into this that I missed to tell the whole story. I am verifying our usual Laptop setup for IPv4 and IPv6 auto- configuration environments (single and dual stack). I hope to find a one-for-all setup. The road warrior laptops are supposed to run out of the box, regardless in what internet cafe network they are plugged into.

After booting the laptop nmcli shows me a connection "eth0". The method for IPv6 is set to "Automatic". Method for IPv4 is "Disabled", as you might have guessed. AFAICS there is no appropriate config file for eth0. I have also seen a connection "Wired connection 1" instead, with IPv4 and IPv6 methods set to "Automatic (DHCP)" and "Automatic". There is no appropriate config file for this connection, either. It seems to me that both connections are provided by network- manager somehow. My point is: I would like to make sure that n-m gives me "Wired connection 1", as appropriate.
