1) "default-wired-connection" is in the server, which is related to the configuration parameter "no-auto-default" in NetworkManger.conf 2) the UI field "Auto Ethernet" in nm-applet They are not the same thing. 2) is not implemented in terms of 1). 1) is a server-only thing 2) is a nm-applet thing -- To realize this, nm-applet of course talks to the server too. But large parts of the logic happen in nm-applet. > > In the server, "auto default connections" are there so that you can > > boot a machine without any connections and NetworkManager will > > create a > > (default) connection automatically. > > "no-auto-default" in NetworkManager.conf disables this. > > What exactly does mean -server- in "In the server"? NetworkManager is a server/daemon to configure networking. "in the server" means something that happens in the NetworkManager process. Sometimes things happen in the server as result of command from a client via D-Bus. Not in case of 1). No client interaction is involved there. > > The "Auto Ethernet" in nm-applet, creates a new connection from > > client > > side, and activates it. > > Did you mean, NetworkManager via the applet offers "Ad hoc" Ethernet > connection, and user can eventually consume it? Clicking 2), cause - nm-applet to constuct a new connection (client-side) - send the new connection via D-Bus to NetworkManager (server-side) - server stores the new connection - server activates the new connection. does that make any sense?
