Title:
NM does not remember that an interface has been disabled
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have two wireless devices on my laptop. The internal wireless
device is so bad i can't get a signal if i am on-top of a wireless AP.
I have a USB wireless nic plugged in. Every time I boot the machine
both wireless devices are enabled and packets attempt to route through
the internal device (which will never work).
You can't assume that a list of wireless nics is a simple list and
just pick the first one. The wireless device with the best signal
should be chosen in this case. However the bigger problem here is
that network managers for other operating systems (osx,windows...)
store a users "state". If I disable the internal wireless nic it
should stay disabled. If I connect to a secure network it should
store that key and never ask for it again. (I hate the popup that has
my obscured password and i just click "ok", thats just annoying and a
worthless dialog box.) Also they have firewalls(!), why can't i
adjust my firewall settings per network interface?
