That's very cool but I think I'd stick it in the VPN connection configuration. I suspect whether you want this passthrough to work might depend on which VPN connection you're using. But anyway... So what I think is going on here, when I look at the output from 'nmcli c show' for wifi and wired connections is this: Wired: GENERAL.DEFAULT: yes Wireless: GENERAL.DEFAULT: no That's the only meaningful difference I can see between these two. While I can change this with nmcli, I don't see anything in the GUI for choosing a preferred or default connection/interface. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
