Network Manager controlling network interface

[Íñigo Huguet]

NetworkManager used D-Bus for interprocess communication. If you can
use D-Bus in your application, this is the property that you need to
check, I think:
https://networkmanager.dev/docs/api/latest/gdbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.html#gdbus-property-org-freedesktop-NetworkManager-Device.Managed

A dirtier workaround would be to `exec` this command and check if the
output is "10 (unmanaged)":
    LANG=C nmcli -g GENERAL.STATE d show eth0
