The problem is not so simple:

Once I've ordered the list of networks (A, B, C), suppose I'm connected to network A, and nm detects there is no connectivity (i.e. no ping to gateway, or DNS), then it should fallback to network B.

The problem here is how to decide when to go back to network A without interrupting connectivity.

1) The easy way is interrupting it, say, 30 minutes later and check. All connections will be lost.
2) Other possibility is stay on B until it loses connectivity.
3) The hard way, and I guess is not possible yet, is that the NIC and the driver support virtual STAtions, this way it can associate to multiple APs simultaneously. In that case we could even round robin connections and have bandwidth incremented.
