Hi, Which version of NetworkManager is this? I think if you configure connection.autoconnect-slaves=yes on the master, activating the master will re-activate the slaves in a defined order. With this, the slaves probably should be all connection.autoconnect=no. Then, you may also configure connection.autoconnect-priority on the slaves, to ensure that the order is as you wish. That should work, but I don't think we test this sufficiently. Hope it's not broken :) best, Thomas
