Description

### What Happened?

Currently we do our own device name disambiguation which means we either have a name like "Wired" or the name of the device itself with no helpful in betweens like "USB ethernet"

### Steps to Reproduce

Have two or more of the same kinds of devices like a PCI and USB ethernet device. See that in the sidebar you have the device name

### Expected Behavior

We should use NM to disambiguate names so we get more helpful descriptions like we have in the network indicator

### OS Version

7.x (Horus)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

### Log Output
