The problem is not so simple:

Once I've ordered the list of networks (A, B, C), suppose I'm connected
to network A, and nm detects there is no connectivity (i.e. no ping to
gateway, or DNS), then it should fallback to network B.

The problem here is how to decide when to go back to network A without
interrupting connectivity.

1) The easy way is interrupting it, say, 30 minutes later and check. All 
connections will be lost. 
2) Other possibility is stay on B until it loses connectivity.
3) The hard way, and I guess is not possible yet, is that the NIC and the 
driver support virtual STAtions, this way it can associate to multiple APs 
simultaneously. In that case we could even round robin connections and have 
bandwidth incremented.

Mariano
