But I don't like it. What strange for me is, when it connects to both Wifi and eth0, it uses Wifi as the default network, even after I try to click the eth0 several time, and NM reported "connected to wired network". I checked this by copying large file over my LAN network and the speed is Wifi speed (~2MB/s) rather than eth0 speed (~9MB/s). That is annoying. > > Right Mouse on nm-applet -> edit connections -> your wifi connection -> > > edit -> disable automatic start should do. > > You mean set the wifi connection to manual? > The great thing about NM so far was that it automatically chose between > the multiple connections -- and ethernet always had priority unless > overridden by hand. If it'll be manual from now on, what's the point? I agree, that's why I don't like this workaround > My *workaround* is right-click on nm-applet -> uncheck enable wireless. I resorted to do this too, but then it's also a problem because you have to enable wireless again if you want to connect. And it prevents the "automatically uses the available Wifi connection when the cable is unplugged". For me it's not a real problem as I'm used to twiddle with the system, but it's not very user friendly for less geeky user that I am setting up this laptop for.
