I've been curious about this for a while.

The situation I find that occurs often is my laptop, which usually uses only the wireless connection. It seems to figure out that when I plug it in it's better to use the wired connection but I'm never sure.

How does it decide?  And how can I know which one is being used?

Thanks,
Joe

Subject: What happens if there are two interfaces?

Just an elementary question.
Where are packets sent if there are two interfaces,
say WLAN and ethernet, in operation?
Does NM or the kernel try to work out which is better?
