Disable WiFi when connecting to Ethernet

[Cassidy James Blaede]

By default, it makes sense to me to disable (switch off) wireless connections when connecting to a wired connection. This should be user-reversible, i.e. I can re-enable WiFi if I want. But I feel like in the vast majority of cases, once I've plugged into a wired connection, I want to switch to it instead of wireless.

I would say only if we can confirm that we have a full internet connection from the wired connection. For example if it was just some kind of LAN or Intranet I might still want the wireless connection to get on the Internet. But yeah otherwise this would probably be a good power saving move

...and re-enable when disconnecting from Ethernet?

I agree with Dan, confirming a full connection (like how capnet-assist does it) would be ideal before switching wireless off.
