[Bug 227445] [NEW] KNetworkManager Does Not Fail Over To Active Ethernet Controller

[cmnorton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

I am using a USB Port Replicator for my Thinkpad T61p's ethernet and
PS/2 connections. Upon startup KNetworkManager will not fail over from
usb0 to eth1. It did fail over in 7.10.

This is not an earth-shattering problem; it is only annoying. I just
simply issue a sudo dhclient or select eth1 in KNetworkManager by right-
mouse-clicking on the KNetworkManager icon. Then, I have my network
back.

If there is a configuration workaround, I would gladly test it for you.
I am posting some information from ifconfig. If you want anything else,
please let me know.

Thanks.
