I can confirm this bug, it's quite annoying and not limited to 802.1x (I dont't even know exactly what that is). Where I work we have several networks and to switch between them I need to plug my network cord into a different network socket.
So I have my "main" network set to connect automatically and the others need to be selected manually. When I worked on one of the "other" networks and want to change back to the "main" network I need to wait for some seconds until networkmanager "recognizes" the unplug. Else networkmanager won't do the autoconnect to the "main" network and still "thinks" that it's connected to the old network and hence does not change any of the IP settings and stuff. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894082 Title: Network-Manager doesn't handle short network interruptions correctly!
