Re: Is there a way to get NM to manage a bnep device as well?

hmm, here's what I could find. So I guess it's net.bluetooth on here. 
Then what explains nm6.5 showing the device when it is enabled?

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_16_cf_d7_ae_62'
  info.capabilities = {'net', 'net.bluetooth'} (string list)
  info.category = 'net.bluetooth'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bluetooth_acl_1fcc30da11' 
 (string)
  info.product = 'Bluetooth Interface'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'net'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_16_cf_d7_ae_62'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'net'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/net/bnep0'  (string)
  net.address = '00:16:cf:d7:ae:62'  (string)
  net.arp_proto_hw_id = 1  (0x1)  (int)
  net.bluetooth.mac_address = 97976299106  (0x16cfd7ae62)  (uint64)
  net.interface = 'bnep0'  (string)
  net.linux.ifindex = 5  (0x5)  (int)
  net.originating_device = 
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bluetooth_acl_1fcc30da11'  (string)
