Hi Thomas, Somehow we're not seeing eye-to-eye. Let me try it another way.
Inappropriate prompts are the problem. Prompts interfere with my work. The current NM logic doesn't seem to handle well the common scenario I described, and will pester me, and keep pestering me (unless I disable Wi-Fi, as you suggested.) It is not good for NM to interfere with my work, when I already have a functioning network connection. It is not reasonable for NM to prompt to disconnect a functioning connection, nor is it reasonable for NM to prompt the user to disable Wi-Fi. That is really not called for. Usually, if I have specified a DUN connection over a Wi-Fi connection, there was a good reason for it. If I choose not to switch from the established DUN connection to a Wi-Fi connection, NM should just accept my decision, but not *disable* anything. Maybe the term "notification" is the source of misunderstanding: I mean the modern, relatively unintrusive, non-interactive notifications, as opposed to an "alert dialog" or a "prompt" or the like. Again: If a functioning connection is in place, NM might *notify* me of the existence of a wireless signal, but not otherwise interfere with my work.
