To follow-up on the original question, is it possible to restore the 
single active connection behavior of NM 0.6.6 w/out changing code?

In my opinion, unless someone is actively using connection sharing, 
keeping Wi-Fi connected while Ethernet is active is just burning a slot 
in the AP that someone else could be utilizing...

What about 3g?  Does it also stay connected when an Ethernet cable is 
plugged in?  If so, couldn't that have financial implications to the 
end-user?
