The systray icon still needs UI work. I put machine to sleep while using the wifi, then woke up with wired eth connected. It did not autoconnect to wired. I could click on icon, choose 'system eth0' and then it connected. But I don't see any way to set it to autoconnect. If I go to 'manage connections', system eth0 isn't there, in fact, nothing is there under wired. I don't want to confuse things by creating a new connection, since there seems to be a 'system eth0' concept already. I don't think it gives visual feedback. nm-applet shows feedback while connecting, and on mouseover tells me what it's doing. This is important.
