[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#439174: should shut down wireless network entirely when connected to cable

[Simon Richter]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.4-8+b1
Severity: minor

Hi,

while I'm connected to the network with a cable, it would be a good
thing if n-m would power down the wireless network card; there is no
point in continually scanning for access points if they are not going to
be used anyway.
