Reply from the maintainer:
"enabled" means, that if you plugin an USB dongle (and NetworkManager has a
matching connection that is configured to "autoconnect"), that NM will
automatically connect the newly plugged in device.
"disabled" means it will not.
It makes sense to have this property available any time, so that you can
configure it ~before~ plugin in the device.
Therefore this is not a bug.
