Hello all, I was wondering if there was some justification for the priority listing in src/nm-device.c: nm_device_get_priority(). Specifically, that a MODEM connection is higher in the priority than a WIFI connection.
Note that this is not for connection priority support within the same device type (like bug 580018 [1]), but across different devices, mainly for the default route. The reason for asking is that our device will automatically activate a Wi-Fi connection when it is detected in range, and fall back to a 3G Modem if it goes out of range / is unavailable. This works great, however since WiFi is given lower priority by NM, the default route stays on the 3G connection all the time. Is this just a historical thing? Having WiFi priority over Modem would also match other platforms such as Android. I can submit the patch we are using to swap these (super simple) if desired. Thanks!
