[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#444043: network-manager: Unconnected USB ethernet device is made to take priority over connected wireless!

[Reuben Thomas]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.5-1
Severity: normal

I normally use my laptop with its wireless interface. Often, I plug it
into a multi-adaptor that contains a USB ethernet device (asix
driver). This does not have a cable connected, yet network-manager
decides to use it, and removes the default route for my wireless
interface.
