Oh yes, I was confusing device and connection modify, sorry.
Though what you said above just makes me think about the connection 
reload command.
Granted you're not supposed to manually edit connection files but my 
understanding and experience is that if you do and then nmcli connection 
reload, you still have to reactivate the connection with nmcli 
connection up. So I don't quite understand the use of reloading ?

Thanks
