Hi all,

We are using the NetworkManager version 1.8.2 on an embedded device and have 
done some tests with the connection check and it seems that is not working 
correctly.  

On our system we have Ethernet and wireless working. Were Ethernet is the 
primary network interface. Adding the connectivity check to the 
NetworkManager.conf will ping a server every 10s to check internet connection. 
And that is done correctly through both network interfaces.

The routing table of the target looks like this. 

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         10.101.2.1      0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.11.101  0.0.0.0         UG    600    0        0 wlan0
10.101.2.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
10.101.2.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     100    0        0 eth0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 wlan0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     600    0        0 wlan0

When we disconnect the switch from the internet where the Ethernet interface is 
connected to the connection request will fail. But it fails for both devices 
and the routing penalization function (route_metric_with_penalty) is called and 
updates the routing table for both interface instead of only the Ethernet one.

And in the routing table both interfaces have changed

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

10.101.2.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     100    0        0 eth0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 wlan0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     600    0        0 wlan0

Is there something wrong with our test or might there be an issue with the 
connectivity check?

Thanks for any advice or help. 

Best regards,
