Mariano, I do not believe that users such as myself are requesting that NM should "upgrade" an active connection from B to A when it detects that this is possible.
The request is to allow users to configure the order in which NM automatically tries to connect to networks. If I have a T3 line to my house behind a wireless router, I don't want NM to choose anything else when that is in range. Similarly, if I carry around a portable hotspot device with metered bandwidth, I don't want NM choose that unless no other known wireless networks are in range. I don't want NM to automatically interrupt my Call of Duty session (or whatever the kids are playing these days) to connect to a different network if the currently connected network is working just fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366780 Title: Please provide a mechanism whereby Wi-Fi networks can be prioritized Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I've got few wifi network profiles. NM connects to 1st available network in alphabetical order. But at my home NM connects to slow and unstable free network and I want to connect to my own wifi router. I suggest to add some priorities to different networks to set the order which network to connect to.
