Setting autoconnect vs. device autoconnect.

[Ana Rodríguez López <rodrilopez ana gmail com>]

Hi all,

how do the connection setting autoconnect and device setting autoconnect work? If the first is TRUE, will the connection be activated with any available/compatible device? If only the second is TRUE, which effect will this have?

I am managing two devices with NM, a gsm modem and a wired connection. I want NM to automatically connect to the preferred connection (according to the priority of each connection) only when I manually decide that the connection is needed. What is the best way to do this? Should I only use setting autoconnect or rather device autoconnect?

Moreover, I cannot see the device autoconnect configuration with `nmcli device show <iface>`. Is there a way to see it?

Thanks,

Ana
