Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
when I boot the pc sometimes it can happen that my cable is not plugged. I discovered that in this case someone (I think network manager) gives me an ip and creates a new interface calles eth0:avahi or something similar. this is not usefull since sometimes (rarely) this prevents wireless to work. I think because the default gateway of eth0:avahi have been given more importance than the wireless one.

Thanks for your bug report.
I think, the fact that you have an ip address is normal, this is the new feature of avahi called IPv4LL.
you say: "this is not usefull since sometimes (rarely) this prevents wireless to work", do you know when this happens ?
The eth0:avahi interface should not prevent the wireless interface to work.
