[Bug 846320] [NEW] Wired connection does not take preference over wireless (regression 11.10)

 

Public bug reported:

When there is an active wireless connection, and the wired connector is
connected, network manager is responding by notifying that the wired
connection is made and the icon changes from wireless to wired. In
ifconfig, a IP-address is bound to ethX.

But when trying to do any file operations (or other things), it comes
clear that the wired connection is not used, despite the icon and
notification. The wired connection can only be activated when the
wireless connecttion is forced into disconnect.

But then, the wired connection is not becoming active, only after re-
connecting the wired connection. Maybe the last problem is related to
this bug mentioned. If not, a separate bug should be filed.
