Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
On Ubuntu 8.10, Network Manager will connect to a known wireless network even if it is already connected using a wired network. I expected it would only connect to 1 network at a time (with a preference towards wired) unless instructed to otherwise.
Currently I am using Network Manager version: 0.7~~svn2008101
The wired LAN appears to be the connection used based on the usage statistics given by ifconfig.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 (though several months old now) on a Thinkpad T61p laptop. No special network settings beyond adding wireless networks and setting up the Cisco VPN support. e1000e wired card, iwl3945 wireless card.
