Description of problem: if you connect an ethernet cable to an wireless connected computer, connection does not switch to ethernet but remains on wireless. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q NetworkManager NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-22.git20131003.fc20.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.connect notebook to wireless 2.connect ethernet cable to notebook 3. Actual results: notebook keeps wireless connection Expected results: notebook switches to wired connection Additional info: looking in settings, wired connection is off.
I am seeing this behaviour as well. I have the BIOS (Dell Latitude E6530) setup so the wireless *should* be disabled whenever a wired connection is detected and this worked flawlessly until I upgraded to Fedora20. Now, whenever I reboot, both connections are active. For some reason, this results in a non-usable network (connections stay up, but no traffic goes through) whenever I have an openvpn connection open for a few minutes. When I disable the wireless network (via NetworkManager gui) at that moment, everything returns to normal. I looked at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723930 as well, but using the "Connect automatically" workaround is hardly a solution. I would normally see if ifplugd could be of use here, but that seems to have been retired for Fedora20?
After several updates of NetworkManager things started to improve a lot. I noticed that upon a fresh boot both wired and wireless were active. However, whenever the network cable was reseated the wireless would deactivate as expected. Finally, after a Bios Update last night it all seems fine now even when freshly booted. So at the moment I would say things work as expected.
