Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Hello,
this is a enhancement wish which would gretly help to increase the usability.
I have a cable network which I want to use as default network when being at my working desk.
There are also a number of WLAN-nets around of which one I have access and which has been secured by a keyphrase.
Whenever I log into Ubuntu there's a small window asking me for my master WLAN password. If I don't type that one in I won't get any connection (IMAP/browser sessions, etc.) thus it isn't neccessary since I have always a cable plugged in.
Would it be feasible to have the cable network as a default?
Then it would recognize to use the cable LAN as preferred network when I have that plugged.
Thanks for addressing this.
using Ubuntu Edgy Eft (2.6.17-11-generic)

Is this still a problem in Network Manager 0.6.6 (Hardy) ?
Do you have any opportunity to try Network Manager 0.7?
