Mathieu,

This seems to work - thanks!

In testing I noticed a couple of things that I think are worth mentioning:

1) I'm using the same static IP (IPv4 and IPv6) on both wired and wireless - this way I can switch from wired to wireless and back without losing existing connections. I've noticed that with IPv6 I sometimes end up with the interface stuck in a "dadfailed" state if I switch over by briefly having both interfaces on the same IP. To clear this I have to reconnect in NM. It would be nice if this were cleared automatically, but I realise that I'm probably the only one doing this!

2) When I am on wireless and add wired, I end up with two default gateways (but everything still works fine). But when I'm on wired and add wireless, the wireless default gateway does not get added until I disconnect wired. Neither wired nor wireless are on automatic. This isn't causing a routing problem; it just seems odd to me that the behaviour isn't symmetrical.

I don't think that either of these is a bug. With the update we no longer have a regression over Natty functionality IMO.

Your help is much appreciated!
