I've been trying out some failure scenarios with Eth vs. GSM modem (under
ModemManager) - e.g. Eth link getting disconnected/reconnected.
eth0 was present in my /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
therefore I used the "managed=true" setting in NetworkManager.conf, with the
ifupdown plugin.
Board is booted with the eth cable connected. I'm not using systemd.
=>
root@wg:~# nmcli conn
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
eth0 100f5a79-f573-44ca-b746-04727dab4a7d 802-3-ethernet eth0
Ifupdown (eth0) 681b428f-beaf-8932-dce4-687ed5bae28e 802-3-ethernet --
O2 42bf3c07-9dd7-45f6-ba08-37dfc8a7a537 gsm --
I bring up the MM GSM connection.
Nameservers for both appear in resolv.conf, and 'route' shows both eth0 and
ppp0.
I can [busybox] ping a site by name on ppp0 (using the -I option).
I then unplug the eth cable, and the ping then fails [eventually!] with "bad
address". (It works if I specify IP addr instead).
It works (by name) when I reconnect the the cable.

On disconnect of the cable, NM logs:

In contrast however, if I comment eth0 out of /etc/network/interfaces and
reboot (with eth cable reconnected) and repeat, then the ppp0 ping works fine
after disconnecting the eth cable.

It seems the dns lookup is being tried on eth0 instead of ppp0 - as if the
'managed=true' isn't altering all the behaviour that it should be? (e.g. in
the failing case, eth0 is still showing in resolv.conf & in the routing
table...?).
I have no pre/post up/down scripts in /etc/network/
eth0 is in /etc/network/interfaces for not conscious reason - just the way by
image is building at present. I could chop it out if necessary, but as I'm
sticking my on NetworkManager.conf into the rootfs anyway, that would be an
easier way to flick the behaviour, if I can get it to work equivalently.
