Description Beniamino Galvani 2017-05-19 05:26:39 EDT

With bug 1420708 NM changed the order in which slave connections
are auto-activated. This could cause problems for users upgrading
from RHEL 7.3 to 7.4.

Let's add a new system-wide configuration option to
preserve the old behavior of ordering by ifindex, and enable it
on RHEL 7.4.
