Description Thomas Haller 2016-09-09 10:58:08 UTC 
Steps to reproduce.


- use ifcfg-rh as primary settings plugin.

- create a connection:

$ nmcli connection add type ethernet ifname eth1 con-name connie \
        802-1x.identity jdoe 802-1x.eap leap


- notice the connection exists

$ nmcli connection show | grep connie


- notice the ifcfg-file exists:

$ ls -la /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-connie*


- reload the connection:

$ nmcli connection reload


- notice the connection is gone:

$ nmcli connection show | grep connie


- in the logfile you see:
