+  # setting, you go to man NetworkManager.conf and find that every
+  # setting has a section.  So what section is that setting in? It
+  # doesn't tell you. You have to figure out that it is implied that a
+  # setting x.y means section x, setting y.  Ok, but what section is
+  # device*? that isn't documented in the man page either (at least not
+  # properly). But if you read closely, you can intuit that device* is
+  # likely a valid section and then try it. Might as use this same magic
+  # config file name since it is supposed to exist, but I have no idea
+  # if it is still magic. note: In figuring this out, I also removed
+  # /etc/netplan/*, which seemed to have no effect. dunno if it matters.
