Public bug reported:

With Vivid, having two connections to the same network subnet is
unstable due to missing metrics for local networks.

Example:

Being connected to 192.168.1.0/24 via both wired and wireless will cause
connectivity issues as sent packets hop between the two interfaces.

It used to be that this wasn't an issue. I would go between work and
home and plug in and my machine would automatically connect to wireless
and it would use the lower metric ethernet interface for all
communications, while the wlan interface would remain connected but
unused.
