I have debugged the network-manager daemon (src/settings/nm-
settings.c:234 impl_settings_list_connections) and nmcli
(cli/src/connections.c:8633 get_connections_cb).

It looks that a correct number of connections is sent from the daemon
and a limited number is received in the nmcli. Maybe it's due to some
DBus quota on message size?

Title:
  NM not listing all configured connections

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If a large number of networks is configured it may be impossible to
  connect to some of them as a regular user, because they are not
  listed.

  It affects all the versions I tested: trusty, utopic, vivid and wily.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Configure a large number of networks (in my case it was 250).
  2. Run nmcli c.

  Expected result:
  nmcli should list all available networks.

  Actual result:
  Only a random (yes, it changes a bit with every call) subset of all connection is displayed - about 130 connections.

  If there are e.g. VPN connections among all connections you may end up
  with being not able to connect to them until you get lucky and the
  connection you need will be "drawn" to the available pool.
