Title:
  network manager keeps trying to connect to random wireless connections
  when already connected to wired connection

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  At work my laptop can see 10+ wireless connections, non of which I'm
  interesed in connecting to.

  Even whilst I'm connected to a wired lan, network manager randomly
  pops open a request to enter the password for a number of these
  network connections. These requests seem to happen at random intervals
  during the day.

  As I'm using gnome 3 this actually gets worse. When it asks for a
  wireless password I first get a gnome themed password prompt (which I
  cancel) and then i get the standard non-themed password prompt.

  To make things even worse, if I attempt to go in and attempt to edit
  the wireless settings, the 'Configure...' button is disabled unless
  I'm already connected to a network. (ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!).

  Love,
  Brett
