You say (b) is a dupe, so consider this as (a). There may be occasions when it is appropriate to connect to multiple interfaces if they're available: for example, when running as a gateway between two networks, or even as a server servicing multiple interfaces. But there are also times when you want to choose one over the other. For example, wired is typically faster than wireless, so if I'm in a location (like my desk) where I can plug in a wire, I want that to be my network connection. If I'm out and about, I want to use wireless automatically. For me, there is never any point in connecting to both -- you say it gives more seemless switching, but I'd say it gives more confusing operation when both interfaces are live when connected to the same network. It would be nice if the software had configuration enough to allow one interface to take priority over another. Previously, I was using wicd, but Ubuntu One requires Network Manager. As such, the loss of functionality is something of a regression.
Of course, an alternate fix would be to get UbuntuOne to work with wicd! -- NetworkManager does not remember enable/disable networking/wireless states after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
