In some situations, NetworkManager might first delete and add the
connection anew, instead of updating the existing one. Also, NetworkManager
might pick up incomplete settings while the user is still editing the files.
+ </para><para>
+ Note that neither this setting nor restarting the NetworkManager daemon
+ is the advised way to reload connection profiles from disk. Instead, after
+ modifying the files reload them with <command>nmcli connection reload</command>
+ or <command>nmcli connection load "$FILENAME"</command>. Even better,
+ instead of modifying files directly, use NetworkManager tools like
+ <command>nmcli</command>, <command>nmtui</command> or the GUI.

+ This setting is deprecated and will have no effect in the future.
