nm-applet tries to connect to "Auto eth0" when starting up or resuming from suspend, instead of the manually set connection

[Amir Khosroshahi]

I have manually set up a static IP wired connection in nm-applet (labeled "Home") which is my connection to use at home.

However, whenever I resume from suspend or restart my computer, nm-applet tries to connect to the "Auto eth0" connection (which is DHCP, and I can't delete it) and so every time I have to set the connection to my Home connection again.

The desired behavior would be to connect to my last connection profile (Home in this case) and not to fall back to the "Auto eth0" every time.

sudo apt-get remove network-manager ;)

network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

auto eth0
iface eth1 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

My issue was resolved by deleting the "Auto-eth0" and restarting afterwards.
Now, although Auto-eth0 is there again, but it nm-applet connects correctly to my static IP (Home) connection.
