** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: network-manager
  
- NM has no only problems on servers, but on a bit more complicated
- usecases on the clientside, e.g. if there are more fixed-ip settings on
+ NM has problems not only on servers, but also for more complicated use
+ cases on the client side, e.g. if there are more fixed-ip settings on
  lan, lan/wlan/mobile connected alltogether etc.
  
  Therefore, a few suggestions:
  - add an option "default setting for with connection type" - the now 
available "connect automatically" is a bit annoying, because I need to click 
way too many checkboxes. Or, as an alternative, save the previsously used 
setting (for me it is almost random which NM uses, despite it depends a bit of 
the frequency of using.)
  -add an option "use this connection for the default gateway/internet" - 
interesting for cases where e.g. mobile is used for internet while lan is used 
for local data sharing
  -add an option "use this connection for DNS"
  -for vpns: "autoconnection to the vpn if the connections ... are used" - 
interesting for e.g. vpns in unis
  -add an option "disconnect on log" - its very annoying when its disconnects 
only because the X-Server has crashed or something like that while dowloading 
files in text-consoles, screen etc.
  
  So, thats it, thanks ;)
