[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#570169: network-manager-gnome: nm-applet insists on re-enabling wireless networking when resuming from suspend to ram

[Brendon Higgins]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.7.999-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

Before suspending my laptop to ram I manually disable wireless networking
using the nm-applet RMB menu. Upon resuming the machine later, nm-applet
immediately re-enables wireless networking and proceeds to connect to the
wireless network, ignoring the user's intentions.

The wireless network should not be enabled automatically if the user has
manually disabled it.

Currently this is just an annoyance for me (I'm trying to conserve power), but
one might imagine this behaviour is possibly dangerous, e.g. by resuming the
machine, thus enabling wireless, while on an aircraft in flight. (Unlikely to
do much, perhaps, but something to consider.)

Peace,
Brendon
