I don't understand though, you say that: There is no way (currently) of disabling the wireless connection to force traffic over the wired connection.
Yet to me, right clicking seems to be a way so I thought I was misunderstanding you. I thought that what you were saying was that it did not work, as it stands that seems like the most logical way to have you disable wireless. Unfortunately, the way nm-applet is designed, there isn't a way to make it recognize your wired connection as it intentionally ignores that it exists. This is a known issue, but also the way the program was designed. Unless you have a new issue to report, I'm going to close this bug. Feel free to add more if you think I am in error. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: Chris Burgan => (unassigned) Status: Needs Info => Rejected -- nm-applet doesn't favour wired connections when they have a static set up https://launchpad.net/bugs/87899 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
