Title:
  Autoconnect to wired not working correctly when disabled for WLAN

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  In the office I have a docking station for my Dell Latitude E-5500 laptop with LAN cable connection on eth0.
  In the office we also have a WLAN which I use when I take the laptop to a meeting room.
  I was used to set both (LAN eth0 and WLAN "MayWifi") to autoconnect.

  Then recently I had the problem that on login the WLAN connection was
  considered as the somewhat "main" connection which leads to the
  problem that I do not have access to particular resources without
  first establishing a VPN connection. This is a different story (Bug
  629284) but the reason I unchecked the autoconnect option for the WLAN
  connection.

  So, but now when I do not set the WLAN to autoconnect, I also don't
  get the LAN autoconnected although available.

  In the attached screenshot(s) you can also see that the wired LAN
  connection is showing "never" in the "Last Used" column which is
  definitely wrong as I use it on a daily basis.
