[SOLVED] Why lo connection is showing in NetworkManager?

On taskbar when I open networks there is Wifi connection informatmion - this is what I use
and icon that suggest that I have Ethernet cable connected. And I'm not.
I noticed that yesterday.
I don't remember changing anything in my system for a long time.

Not sure what to

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

NetworkManager service:

I love archlinux: the last STABLE kernel release + the last STABLE DE release + the last STABLE apps releases. The upstream developers decide what is STABLE.
