SUMMARY
I have a buggy ethernet device, which doesn't have a permanent MAC address.
I this case, I need to set "cloned-mac" for this device, and bond this
"cloned-mac" address to the device name,
which should be set in [connection] section, in "interface-name" property.
However, after checking plasma-nm source code, I found that if the device
doesn't have permanent MAC address, this device is actually ignored, or
miss-handled, the "interface-name" property is never saved.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open "WiredConnection"
2. Input device name in "Restrict To Device"
3. Input cloned mac
4. Press "save"
OBSERVED RESULT
the device name is never saved
EXPECTED RESULT
interface-name=DEVICE_NAME should be saved in [connection] section of the
corresponding nmconnection file
