It seems that if I have changed any network settings and I reboot my machine, a new network gets created with the original settings and it uses that instead. For example I keep trying to enable wake on lan. After I run the nmcli command to modify the connection to enable wake on lan, if I reboot a new connection is created that doesn’t have wol enabled and it is being used.
nmcli c show

The other thing to note is that I had deleted that Joseph's S23 Ultra Network before I rebooted. So, not only did it recreate Wired Connection it also recreated Joseph's S23 Ultra Network. Something else must be attempting to control the state of my network connections and I don’t know what it is.
