"accurately", except for private networks, firewalls, etc. Which is
probably OK.

Thanks for the clarification.

I think one of problems lies in "suggest", which actually sounds more
like "affirm".

How hard would it be for NM to detect there are some non-managed
interfaces? That does not seem like a lot to ask. Especially not hard
in the "NM_CONTROLLED=no" case.
