Description of problem: When logging into my T60 laptop the NetworkManager Applet (version 0.6.4) will bring up the wired connection when there is nothing connect to the interface. I would expect NM should bring up the wireless connection since there is only one network available... After wired connection (incorrectly) brought up, I click on the wireless network which brings down the wired connection and brings up the wireless connection as expected. The wired interface is a Intel e1000 The wireless interface is a Intel ipw3945 The wired interface that has no connection is configure like: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:58:2E:22:22 inet addr:169.254.182.22 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::215:58ff:fe2e:2222/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:96 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:24204 (23.6 KiB) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: ifcfg-eth0 (wired): DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:15:58:2E:22:22 ONBOOT=no TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=yes IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes ifcfg-eth1 (wirless) TYPE=Wireless DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=00:13:02:9a:25:29 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= DOMAIN= ONBOOT=no USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes ESSID= CHANNEL=1 MODE=Managed RATE='36 Mb/s'
Could be there some delay in activation of binary-only {drivers,dameon}? I have similar problems with ndiswrapper-driven BCM4318, but I blame Broadcomm for not providing documentation.
