Thank you very much for your answer! Indeed, just erasing what’s in “Device” (under “Ethernet” as you said, but only for wired connections: for wifi (what’s most likely to change and require auth info), it’s “Wifi”) works.

I think it makes sense to restrict a profile by default to one device. Ultimately, that is decided by the client tool (like nm-applet) that creates the profile profile in such a way. It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. If the setting is not best for your case, modify the profile as it suits you.Why does that work that way by default in GUI? or did I do something wrong at some point maybe?
Then, I’d like to know if there’s a way to make that “device” section unimportant for every wifi profile, or otherwise, how to erase it for all of them, or otherwise, in which file is this written so I write a script to do it.
Also why is this the default for nm-applet (are there other widely used clients? isn’t this mailing-list the appropriate place for asking about it? or is there some other development team and mailing-list?)? isn’t there a way to change that? So I don’t forget all the connection I happen to find around each time I change computer…
