Title:
Cannot disable wireless in network manager
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm connected to a wired network, but Network Manager still insists on trying
to connect to a wireless network in range and periodically pops up the password
dialog for this network - very interruptive.
Weirdly, wireless cannot be disabled in NM (check cannot be removed from
"Enable Wireless"-option.)
Additionally, the wireless switch on my laptop seems to have no effect at all
(I'd expect the "Enable Wireless"-option to be grayed out when the switch is in
the off position.)
"Edit Connections" in NM does nothing as well...
I've tried restarting the network-manager service (sudo service
network-manager restart), but nothing changes.
I'm wondering if this is somehow related to suspend and/or docking.
Ubuntu usually gets in this state after I've gone from wireless (at
home) and brought the laptop to work still powered on, docking it and
connecting to the wired network .
