clevis module inside the initramfs causes NetworkManager creates an unexpected new connection profile

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • NetworkManager creates automatically an unknown connection profile and connects it during the boot process, though the connection profile for ens192 has already existed.
  • The unexpected network connection can be down manually and the connection profile the user defines can be up correctly after boot.
