[Bug 846320] Re: Wired connection does not take preference over wireless (regression 11.10)
When I compare the ip route output of 11.10 vs 11.04, two things are different:
- in the 11.04 output, there's a 'metric' statement on each line
- in the 11.04 output, there's an extra line containing the IP-address of the external modem

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.
