I'm no longer working there so it's not very important to me anymore. I suppose if somebody still needed this fix they would have made a comment here by now... With 18.04 around the corner I imagine desktop usage of 14.04 isn't very applicable anymore.

So it's not connecting to the last used profile, which is troublesome. On all of our machines (about 500), we define three wired network profiles, one DHCP and two static. We're migrating from Debian to Ubuntu, so this bug has only surfaced now for us. This can be reproduced by creating a couple of network profiles on the same wired interface and then rebooting or restarting network-manager. It will loop through the network profiles in the same order always. So it's doing the exact reverse of what's supposed to happen. I did some digging and I applied a simple patch to the source code. This seems to have fixed the issue. I posted my patch for verification on the networkmanager mailing list and it was verified as being correct by Beniamino Galvani, one of the developers. Here is the link to the network-manager topic: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager- list/2016-August/msg00053.html This is the patch (also included as attachment): --- nm-device.c 2016-08-16 15:37:50.000000000 +0200 +++ nm-device_patched.c 2016-08-16 15:44:08.308729955 +0200 @@ -1267,7 +1267,7 @@ s_con = nm_connection_get_setting_connection (connection); g_assert (s_con); if (nm_setting_connection_get_autoconnect (s_con)) - available_conns = g_slist_prepend (available_conns, connection); + available_conns = g_slist_append (available_conns, connection); } if (!available_conns) I hope to get this patch included in the trusty package, so somebody else can benefit from this.
