The short version is that if the behavior with "Connect Automatically" and "Make available to other users"  is down to NetworkManager, then I sympathize with the suggestions to migrate from it to systemd-networkd. If someone could point me to a simple guide for that I'll look into it.


This is O.K. as a guide. https://techdocs.akamai.com/cloud-computing/docs/network-configuration-using-systemd-networkd

The thing to remember is you can't have NetworkManager and systemd-networkd running at the same time. I suggest being on the PC physical console when you do it.

Generate you script as per the guide

Then stop and mask the NM service

sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service

sudo systemctl mask NetworkManager.service

and start the networkd service

sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd.service

sudo systemctl start systemd-networkd.service

and check it:

sudo systemctl status systemd-networkd.service

sudo journalctl -u systemd-networkd.service
