This is right. The setup is entirely doable with manual settings, though,
both on CLI and Network Manager. The latter may aid switching between the
use cases mentioned by Tomasz.

I try to attach our old instructions. Acctually, I found running the debug 
command line form the CLI document
root@linux#  wpa_supplicant -dd -D wired -i eth0 -c 
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant_umrnet_lan.conf
very instructive; it gives a super precise idea what the supplicant is trying 
do to in what order.

Good luck
Martin
