Thanks for your reply, Beniamino.
Unfortunately no. I checked the Ubuntu backports for 14.04 (trusty), but
there are no updated versions available. An upgrade to 16.04 LTS is not an
option at this time.
I can report some progress in this matter though. I've just now made a
small adjustment to the source code, and it seems to have fixed the issue.
The last connected profile now autoconnects on boot. However, I am not a
developer (my C knowledge is very limited) and what I've done might be
extremely hacky and just plain wrong :) I could use someone with more
insight into the network-manager source code to validate or tweak my simple
fix. I made the change based on an educated guess, but I don't fully
understand the inner workings of how the autoconnecting works. Any help in
validating this is greatly appreciated.
This is the patch I made to nm-device.c:
