Public bug reported:
Since I updated to raring ringtail, network-manager forgets which
networks to connect to.
I have defined several connections in network manager. For example for
my wired connection I have one connection named 'home' which uses a
static ip, and once named 'work' which uses another static ip, and one
named 'dhcp' which uses dhcp.
Pre-raring this worked fine, since NM remembered which connection was
used last and picked that again, so that If I stay at home and turn on
my laptop it will pick the 'home' network each time after I have
selected it once.
In raring this is different, NM always picks the first connection from
the list instead of the conection used last time. This means I have to
manually change the network *each time* I connect to a network, instead
of only hen I change locations.
Tis is not wired network specific: at work we use several different wifi
AP's with different names, one for an internal network and one for
internet access. I want to connect to the 'internet' AP most of the
time, but since the internal is first in the list NM now picks that one
each time.
