NetworkManager doesn't have the infrastructure to do this right now either. The target use-case for NetworkManager right now is for laptop users who are fairly mobile. It's a bit hard to imagine a use-case for multiple active network adapters in this context, _unless_ you are using some sort of "Internet Connection Sharing". The plan is to have NM support ICS at some near-future point. But beyond that in the normal desktop use-case, I'm not sure there's a compelling reason to allow multiple active networks right now. If/when NetworkManager grows more into a network infrastructure role and begins to supplant things like VLAN/802.1q/bridging and other stuff, this would definitely be something to support. On the more technical side, the routing table is a bit harder to manage here. I'd like to move towards libnl for this so that we don't have to call out to /sbin/ip for more complex routing stuff.
