[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#649042: network-manager-gnome: cannot disconnect from wlan network without soft blocking the device

[Norbert Preining]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi all,

the current behaviour of nm-applet is that you cannot *disconnect* from
a certain wlan network, only switch to a different one. If I want to
disconnect I have to click the ON-OFF button, which soft blocks the
device with the rfkill method.

This is *very* unconvenient behaviour, as I often have apparently free
wlans around that NM automatically connects to (this is another bug
I submit), but they are not really free (pay online etc).

Thanks


Norbert
