The device ax0 was created and upped outside of NM's knowledge, so NM
created a temporary connection "ax0" to reflect that external setup.
This is what you see as active in `nmcli d`.
You can modify and reuse this created connection, or create a different
connection (possibly deleting the generated one).

Note that NM doesn't understand AX25 devices, but it should still work
to do Layer3/IP configuration. In general such unknown devices is
treated as "generic".
If you look at the created connection
   `nmcli connection show ax0`
you should see that it's of connection.type=generic.

Basically, adjust the generic connection to have the settings you want.
See `man nm-settings` for possible options. Especially the "ipv4"
section.
