I'm adding an observation here because the NetworkManager work-around
thread is here and not in #1676547.
Confirmed with additional information: Ubuntu 20.04 workstation ISO
(downloaded August 2020) exhibits the issue when run in the LiveCD
"Trial" mode. The Gnome "Settings" UI does not by default show the
"Wired" menu by default even if the underlying NIC is not servicing
DHCP. The network icon is also missing from the top status bar.
This behavior differs from Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04 LiveCD ISO images.
In my test cases, copying /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-
managed-devices.conf to /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d and then setting
"unmanaged-devices=all" followed by restarting NetworkManager causes the
menu to appear.
It is worth pointing out that once installed the menu appears as
expected once rebooted, so this issue is specific to the LiveCD instance
and not the installed instance.
I'm not going to try to guess why the developers decided to hide this
functionality in the LiveCD, but I for one am disappointed because I am
working in a mixed DHCP/VLAN network environment where static IP
addresses are the rule rather than the exception.
