Hi Jerry.  Thanks for the bug reports.

You could be even more helpful if you would split your information up
into distinct issues.  For each issue, search the existing bug reports;
if you find that the issue has already been reported then add your
information there, otherwise open a new report for that issue.

Which hardware should be automatically configured and with what kind of
network should it be connected?

That's gnome-control-center, not NM.

Hmm, does nm-connection-editor confuse the wired and wireless
interfaces? !  That certainly deserves its own bug report.

That's a bug.

Or else the behavior you describe is a feature request.

In another report can you please give the exact sequence of user actions
that leads to this phenomenon?

Yep, report it.

There have been a few reports recently of NM taking a very long time at
startup to start working.

Shall we make this the topic of the present bug report (#1017738), that
it takes twenty minutes for NM to show ESSIDs?
