+* Connection profiles with manual IP addressing and with gateways that are not
+  directly reachable will generate a warning on activation and when they are
+  added/modified via nmcli and nmtui. NetworkManager currently adds on-link
+  routes for them automatically, but this will change in the future. To fix the
+  warning, users should add addresses or routes whose subnets cover these
+  gateways. A gateway (either the default gateway or the next-hop of a route) is
+  considered directly reachable if it falls within the subnet of a direct route
+  (a route without a next hop) or of a prefix route from a static address.
 * Restrict the connectivity check to use the DNS servers defined on the

   use any servers available in the system.
