Well..... I still don't think enough information has been supplied.
If you do a
nmcli connection
you should see an "ethernet" entry.
Example, on my system...
NAME UUID TYPE
DEVICE
enp2s0 22f19ca8-c33d-31ea-9a32-a4b1309d0b06 ethernet
enp2s0
And then do...
nmcli connection show (device-name)
Ed,
# nmcli connection
...
eth0: unavailable
"Intel Ethernet"
ethernet (e1000e), E8:6A:64:35:53:D8, hw, mtu 1500
....
Your next request generated a lot more:

Lot of chaff there. Not sure if there's any wheat at all. Does anything
