Stefan, could you please show us the contents of
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf? In the early stages of
systemd's integration in Gentoo, it was necessary to disable some
plugins that tried to set /etc/conf.d/network as configuration file
for NetworkManager. I don't know if it's related to your system
connections not appearing in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.

Regards.
