** Description changed:

  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.
+ 
+ When pulling the plug from, the wired connection, the wireless
+ connection does not becomes active automatically, like it did prior to
+ 11.10. You have to force the wireless connection to get connected again.
