could you make sure the connections are marked autoconnect? Up to and including Test3, autoconnect was not set as default because the code wasn't there to let NM choose the correct network. So if you haven't cleared your GConf since Test3, you'll probably have the 'autoconnect' option not set. Run 'gconf-editor' and drill down to /system/networking/connections. You'll see a list of the connections. Run through them and in the 'connection' folder of each one you want to autoconnect, and check the 'autoconnect' option.
Yup that was it. I works fine now. Sorry for the false alarm.
no problem, thanks for the report!
