Public bug reported:
It does not seem to be possible to create network connections with no IP
addresses., for example for passive monitoring of existing link.
To reproduce:
(1) In nm-connection-editor, create a new connection of type 'Ethernet'.
(2) In "IPv4 settings", set Method to "Disabled"
(3) In "IPv6 settings", set Method to "Ignore".
(4) Hit "Save"
(5) Click on newly-created connection and hit "Edit". Look at the IPv6 tab
What I expected to happen:
The Method is set to Ignore.
What happened instead:
The Method is set to Automatic.
Follow up:
(6) set Method to "Ignore"
(7) Hit "Save". Observe error message: The property 'NMSettingIP6Config' /
'method' is invalid: 1
(8) Try to repeat same operation with kde-nm-connection-editor. This editor
will silently ignore any errors which disable both connections.
