I'm seeing exactly the same behavior on my home system after a reboot.It
does NOT happen if I only logoff and then log back on. This system
doesn't have a wireless adapter, so when it happens I simply have no
connectivity at all until selecting "eth0 Auto".
Hope that helps chase things down!
I noticed that when I boot @home, where I have wired + wireless, the wired
seems to connect when I login (need to check if it connects before I
login).
But @work, I have wired + some wireless that never worked. When I login,
first it says 'connected to wired', but then indicates trying to connect to
the broken wireless, then finally connects to wired.
Wish NM would get it priorities straight!
