In the Intel ProSet utility on Windows there is an "Adapter Switching"
option which powers down the wireless radio when a wired ethernet
connection is detected. The wireless radio is powered down when the
ethernet cable is inserted and the wireless adapter is powered on once
again when the ethernet cable is removed.
Normally, a dual homed environment with both wired and wireless having
assigned IP addresses is preferable. Routing will send the packets over
the preferred interface. We're constrained by the available IP range for
wireless devices and only want to assign the IP address if the laptop is
untethered.
Is this possible with NetworkManager?
