Unmanaged network device - impossible to bring up

sorry but the above solution does not work. I did find something interesting though. The command:

ip link show

displays the following:

ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens33: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:50:56:28:56:b2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname enp2s1

I thought it was odd that the interface has a totally different ‘alt name’ = enp2s1. However:

nmcli device set enp2s1 managed yes
Error: Device 'enp2s1' not found.

Trying the rest of the solution:

sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf
systemctl restart NetworkManager

Does not help. connection still unmanaged & and unable to bring up

Thanks for the suggestion, but any other ideas?
