I know the default was to use the wired connection, if the link was up, and change to the wireless connection if it was not. It is probably still a configuration option. (I am not on my laptop, so I can not check it.)

Thanks. I have seen this. But everytime I reboot the system, wired and wireless connection are ticked and everytime nm chooses to connect trough wireless.... Is there somewhere a config file where I can tell nm that the default connection is the wired one.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I know! Network-manager takes care of you and thinks for you.... and there is no reason why you may want to configure it. Anyway, at home I have my network with cables, switch and server and I *want* to connect my laptop on it but there are so many "free" wifi around than network-manager, without any question, chooses to connect first my computer to the Internet using my neighbour wifi..... How can change this and definitely tell network-manager that it can connect to a wifi *only if I ask it to do so!* Thanks for helping. - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 4286 2145 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte
