Resume from Standby vmnet1/8 connected instead of Wired LAN

Vmware Workstation 17.5 installed in Kubuntu 24.04 Noble. If I rename default wired network 1 to My-LAN or make any changes to default LAN connection, after reboot I have three connections shown in KDE Plasma. LAN is connected BUT after Standby and Resume is the wrong connection connected vmnet1 or vmnet8 bun not default wired lan (customized).
Workaround is to delete customized lan connection and reboot.
In Kubuntu 22.04 Jammy was the renamed lan not a such problem, vmnet1/8 not seen.

Would you mind sharing your Netplan configuration from /etc/netplan/*.yaml ? Feel free to redact sensitive information that could be contained.

This sounds like it could be related to the NetworkManager-Netplan integration getting confused about the ordering of the connection profiles.

Hy, I found a workaround for me to copy a file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/LAN-Homenet.nmconnection from my old Jammy installation AND do not apply any changes in kde-settings. There are only one lan-connection without vmnet1/8 an resume from standby reconnect correctly

Same issue for me. Was using a script for Proton VPN loaded into the LAN connection. Deleted the custom connection and rebooted. VMnet1 and 8 stopped trying to connect, and as a bonus now my KDE weather widget is working again. Will use the GUI ProtonVPN application to make changes to VPN.
