Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

This is apparent from src/settings/plugins/ifnet/net_parser.c and src/settings/plugins/ifnet/connection_parser.c. init_block_by_line in src/settings/plugins/ifnet/net_parser.c: if ((conn = get_connection_config (pos)) == NULL) { if (g_ascii_strncasecmp (pos, "eth", 3) == 0 && strlen (pos) == 4) /* wired connection */ conn = add_new_connection_config ("wired", pos); else if (g_ascii_strncasecmp (pos, "ppp", 3) == 0 && strlen (pos) == 4) /* pppoe connection */ conn = add_new_connection_config ("ppp", pos); else if (ignore_connection_name (pos)) { /* ignored connection */ conn = add_new_connection_config ("ignore", pos); } else /* wireless connection */ conn = add_new_connection_config ("wireless", pos); } get_wired_name in src/settings/plugins/ifnet/connection_parser.c: gchar *conn_name = g_strdup_printf ("eth%d", i); It is not clear to me if any wireless interfaces would be named of the forms em* or p*p*, so I do not know if it would be sufficient to check the name of an interface to determine what type it is. However, it at least would usually be incorrect to label an interface called, say, em1 as a wireless interface.
