so the IPv4 property is only valid when connected. If you are not connected, what do you expect to see there. The IPv4.Configuration property is for the settings that the user chooses. While the user can choose Method=dhcp here, but then IPv4 property will also tell you the actual assigned IP address etc. >From a pure configuration UI point of view, you should only be using IPv4.Configuration and use these values. They represent the users choice. If you then additionally wanna present the current configuration you have to look at IPv4. In a lot of cases they might be identical, but certainly that is not a requirement in all cases.
