The file is in /run/NetworkManager/system-connections if you haven't placed a configuration file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections I copy the files from /run/NetworkManager/system-connections to /NetworkManager/system-connections after first boot. the debian wiki has some information and here: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/becoming-friends-networkmanager -- Hindi madali ang maging ako
