of just one of them, since turning off one card through the gnome shell user menu (clearly associated with one specific wifi card in the gnome shell menu) turns off ALL wifi cards - something that rather stumped me.
Yeah, this is a clearly a bug. If you have time, could you please report it on bugzilla.gnome.org against the gnome-shell product, network-indicator component, and add my email address to the CC list? (I'm away from my affected computer right now.) Please include the version of NetworkManager that you are using (try 'rpm -qi NetworkManager' or 'dpkg -s network-manager')
Gnome 3/networkmanager with cable/lan networking: I plugged in the lan cable and had trouble with the internet, so I wanted to check on the settings - but there is no entry for it? Wifi is obvious to find, but lan simply won't appear. Is it even connected? Does it work? Gnome shell doesn't appear to tell me. I got further by scratching up my command line knowledge to use "ifconfig". To find out more through the GUI, I had to come up with the genius idea to click wifi>"wifi settings" or check out inside the Airplane mode menu. That seems like a rather unobvious place to find that.
Unfortunately you're using the one version where the wired network indicator isn't present. It was killed in the status menu redesign for GNOME 3.10, then restored for 3.12 in response to negative user feedback.
