Comment 1 Ferry Huberts 2014-01-21 19:45:29 UTC
This worked fine in F19, after I filed a bug for it and it got fixed.

Comment 2 Ferry Huberts 2014-01-27 22:41:13 UTC
ping?

this is a (serious) regression...

If this is indeed a regression, could you please tell us which version of the package was the last that works for you?

Comment 4 Ferry Huberts 2014-03-06 14:03:42 UTC
Guys,

When am I getting a fix for this _regression_?

I did an upgrade from F19 to F20. In F20 it didn't work anymore.
Don't know the exact F19 version is use.

I've been running the RHEL 7 Beta for a bit and have run into the same issue with NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-25.git20131108.  Based on the comments above, I rolled back to the NetworkManager-0.9.8.8-2.fc19 build and things are now working as expected.

Some other notes about the change:

Before the rollback, NM was assigning a metric of 0 to both the wired and wireless interfaces.  After the rollback, the wireless interface received a metric of "9" while the wired interface was assigned a metric of "1".

Rolling back NetworkManager also required rolling back nm-connection-editor and libnm-gtk, both from the network-manager-applet-0.9.8.4-1.git20131028.fc19 build.

I run VMware Workstation and while using the supplied 0.9.9.0 package the network applet would show the vmnet virtual networking devices (also with the icon indicating that a wired connection had been made based on the virtual interfaces being available and assigned IPs).  Rolling back NM fixed this as well...these devices are now hidden from the applet and network configuration utility, just as they had been in older GNOME releases.

While I rebuilt these F19 SRPMs under mock for EL7, I originally tested them by directly installing the F19 builds from Fedora's Koji instance without an issue.

Is this a recurrence of bug #970293 ?

Comment 14 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:24:04 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 15 cornel panceac 2015-05-30 10:40:06 UTC
I don't know about metric of a connection that has no ip so here's what i know (and what i've originally reported):
-i start fedora 22
-i connect ethernet cable
==> the used network connection is still the wireleess one.

It's the same if i start with the ethernet cable connected.
so for me the problem is still there. So please reassign to Fedora 22.

Comment 16 Ferry Huberts 2015-06-03 11:12:53 UTC
this seems to be fixed in f22

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 14:16:55 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
