multiple-device questions



What are the plans for UI for controlling multiple-device behavior?
Right now nm-applet just connects to all networks that have automatic
configurations.  This is potentially confusing.  A few people have filed
bugs or asked questions on this list.

If the fastest device does not have a gateway defined (none offered by
DHCP, link-local only, or none configured in static config) will NM
choose a slower device for the default route?

What signaling is given the listeners (like Pidgin or Evolution) when a
device goes down but there are other devices up?

Is the signaling different when it's the default route (or not) that has
gone down?

What if, for example, evolution is connected to a mail server on a
private network and the default route (on another network) goes down?
Would it still receive a signal and go offline?
