This seems to be a feature that NetworkManager devs have different view of how to handle. NM works this way: "NetworkManager will automatically connect to networks you have connected to before, but you will need to manually connect at least the first time. Simply select the network or device from the list, and NetworkManager will attempt to connect, asking you if more information is required." "NetworkManager provides automatic network detection and configuration for the system. Once enabled, the NetworkManager service also monitors the network interfaces, and may automatically switch to the best connection at any given time." We (and others) have discussed something similar here: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-December/389163.html I will add Fedora - Network configuration: http://openskill.info/infobox.php?ID=247 Once again, you may try to achieve this with different profiles. Or file a request-for-enhancement with upstream project http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/ and hope to have more luck than anybody else.
