Hi Martin,

that was a bug. I do have a fix for it, but it needs some extra race
condition handling. ConnMan itself doesn't deal with WiFi devices. We
proxy everything through wpa_supplicant.

That makes network cable detection problematic. Off means here that a
user has made a decision not to use it. That is user policy and we have
to respect it. Same goes for enabled Ethernet.

It should _NOT_ do that automatically. It needs user confirmation (at
least once).

Current plan is to integrate with OSPM.

Marcel
