It wouldn’t be surprising if people are complaining about how Wi-Fi
connections are prioritized, because prioritization isn’t implemented at
all yet (bug 1538972). But I don’t see how an automatic/manual
connection setting would practically help. For example, if you had two
commonly-used networks, A and B, and you preferred B, setting A to
manual would mean your device wouldn’t connect to A automatically even
when it was the only network available. Which would be annoying.

Now, I don’t understand why nm-connection-editor has an “Automatically
connect to this network when it is available” setting at all, so it’s
possible that I’m missing something. Why does it exist?
