[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#541014: network-manager: regression - no longer possible to switch to wireless if network cable connected

[Florian Lohoff]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: normal


Since the upgrade from the lenny version to 0.7.1 it is no longer possible
to switch to a wireless network when a network cable is connected. This is a
clear regression as functionality got lost.

When clicking on the wireless i get a DHCP renewal but the default route
stays on the wired network.

Also it is still not possible to switch off wired networking as it is possible
to switch off wireless networking.
