No default connection will be created and automatic activation
will not be attempted when this property of a device is set to a
true value ("1" or "true"). You will still be able to attach a
connection to the device manually or observe externally added
configuration such as addresses or routes.

Create an udev rule that sets this property to prevent NetworkManager
from interfering with virtual Ethernet device interfaces that are
managed by virtualization tools.

If set to <literal>"1"</literal> or <literal>"true"</literal>, the device is
configured as unmanaged by NetworkManager. Note that the user still can
explicitly overrule this configuration via means like
<command>nmcli device set "$DEVICE" managed yes</command> or
<literal>"device*.managed=1"</literal> in NetworkManager.conf.
