Public bug reported: Affecting Ubuntu 12.04.
If more then one wired interface is available (eg. more then one ethernet port, or virtual ports as made by USB ethernet devices), selecting a connection on one device is setting the default for ALL wired interfaces. For example: I connect my mobile phone to provide internet via USB. I connect another PC to eth0 to provide a local network. The PC needs a internet sharing connection providing a DHCP server. The mobile phone needs a normal dhcp client connection. When unpugging either the phone or other PC, and replug it again, the last manual established connection is selected for this interface. This is arkward. So I have to select the correct connection everytime again, as the automatic connection assigned almost never fits both interfaces. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1381485 Title: selecting connection clobbers default connection for all interfaces Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Affecting Ubuntu 12.04.
