* NMSettingIP4Config:method:

* IPv4 configuration method. If 'auto' is specified then the appropriate
* automatic method (DHCP, PPP, etc) is used for the device and most other
* properties can be left unset. If 'link-local' is specified, then a
* link-local address in the 169.254/16 range will be assigned to the
* interface. If 'manual' is specified, static IP addressing is used and at
* least one IP address must be given in the 'addresses' property. If
* 'shared' is specified (indicating that this connection will provide
* network access to other computers) then the interface is assigned an
* address in the 10.42.x.1/24 range and a DHCP and forwarding DNS server
* are started, and the interface is NAT-ed to the current default network
* connection. This property must be set.
