Title:
  Network Manager doesn't set metric for local networks any more,
  causing connection issues

Status in NetworkManager:
  New
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
