Hi

 

I'm using 0.9.10.2 of network manager and have noticed that there is no
(apparent) priority given between a wifi and 3G connection. If I have an
Ethernet connection connected then network manager sets the default
route etc. as expected and the other connections are not used (but still
connected). If I disconnect the Ethernet, it's currently hit and miss
whether it switches to wifi or 3G (usually actually 3G). Since there is
a cost associated with 3G (and it's slower) I'd rather I could assign a
priority but can't see how to do this. On older versions you could use
nmcli to change the 'connection.connection-priority' setting or the
'ipv4.route-metric' but these seem to have disappeared recently? Maybe
there's another way of doing this that I haven't found with the usual
googling?

 

I obviously would like the priority to be Ethernet->wifi->3G so that if
currently using 3G and say a wifi connection becomes available then it
should switch to that. I'm surprised this isn't the default behaviour
unless it's the cacca way I've set things up.

 

I've noticed that nm sets the 'metric' to 1024 for the interface with
the default route and all others are 0. I have no problem with that,
it's just an observation.
