[Bug 1517059] [NEW] Ubuntu keeps trying to connect to a WiFi network while plugged into an ethernet

 

Public bug reported:

My network cable is plugged in but NM shows it is trying to connect to WiFi.
This happened on Ubuntu 15.04 and continues after upgrade to 15.10.
I have a RTL8723be card and it is hardly working correctly, but that is a whole other issue. 

1) Ubuntu 15.10, 64bit

2) network-manager:
  Installed: 1.0.4-0ubuntu5.1
  Candidate: 1.0.4-0ubuntu5.1
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.4-0ubuntu5.1 0
        500 http://mirrors.neterra.net/ubuntu/ wily-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.0.4-0ubuntu5 0
        500 http://mirrors.neterra.net/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages

3, 4) Expected is that when network cable is plugged in and obviously I
have a stable, well running connection, NM should not try to also
connect via WiFi. Also expected that when I pull out the cable, the WiFi
would connect. Instead the wifi shows connected but there is no internet
activity.
