Is there any way that I can make networkmanager to assign some unique names or device derrived name instead of `Auto Ethernet` so that we can avoid the names conflict?
After I've upgraded to Ubuntu Vivid which uses systemd(though I'm not sure if it's directly related or it's just a bug / regression of network-manager) both of my mobile broadband devices get the "Auth Ethernet" name and are unable to get connected simultaneously.
I can temporarry fix it using `nmcli con add type ethernet con-name my-office ifname ens3` but I would rather like to have network-manager handle this automatically (i.e. assign a random / unique conn name).
Use case:
I have two broadband USB devices and I need to connect to both of them. The issue is that NetworkManager displays them both as `Auto Ethernet` (duplicate in the network manager applet) and when I try to connect to the second network it errors out ``(32) Connection 'Auto Ethernet' is already active on enp0s20u``.
When I try to "edit" the connections it displays only one `Auto Ethernet` connection.
`/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections` also lists only one `Auto Ethernet`
