Wired and WiFi.

If you configure a static IP with the wired Ethernet plugged in, you probably want that static IP to continue being used when you unplug the Ethernet cable and NM switches you over automatically to WiFi.  NM does this.

This is why I want a checkbox in the NM GUI: “This is a 4U server, dummy, not a laptop.”
