      Original description:

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

       

      NetworkManager allows `802-3-ethernet.mac-address` to match a interface instead of `connection.interface-name`. If works well for bond and linux bridge port, but not works for OVS bridge system interface.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      NetworkManager-1.47.5-33226.copr.7faa351e4d.el9.x86_64

nmcli c up eth1

      Expected results

       
      eth1 been assigned to OVS bridge br0 as system interface

      Actual results
