that option merely disables that NetworkManager will automatically
generate a profile for ethernet devices, that don't have a profile yet.
Such profiles are called "Wired connection 1", which is how you can
recognize it.

This does very little magic, you can manually create a profile to the
same effect. In any case, NetworkManager would have already set the
interface IFF_UP at this point -- regardless of "(no-)auto-default".
