This should be been mostly fixed in Oneiric now, with the latest
revision of NetworkManager and nm-applet.

To clarify, I guess what you mean was that wired would be connected but
then no traffic at all would pass unless the connection was re-
established?

Regardless, I can see it appears to work properly here if I plug in or
unplug a wired connection with my laptop.

Please, update and try again, and if you're still having issues,
reconnect so that your connection works properly and issue the following
command in a terminal to attach additional information to this bug
report:

apport-collect 846320

Additionally, if possible please also comment with the output of the "ip
route list" command when wired has just been connected and the
"connection doesn't work", so we can verify that routes are being added
and handled properly.

Thanks in advance!

Title:
  Wired connection does not take preference over wireless (regression
  11.10)

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

Bug description:
  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.
