Hello again,

I just wanted to show everyone the prototype I've made for a new
nm-applet interface that supports priorities. It's obviously a work in
progress but it is fully functional:

http://elfery.net/files/nm-priority-settings.png

The backend has a "priority" field (guint16) added to it. It doesn't
actually use this to determine auto-connect priority but I know where
that part of the code is, so it will be easy to add. The patch is
straightforward but I won't attach it yet because I can only test
against the Debian source right now (as per my previous email); the git
HEAD has libnm-core/, which Debian does not, and which also needs
changing.

I posted a branch for review
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580018#c20)

It adds a "autoconnect-priority" field (as gint) and adds support to
nmcli. I would wait with UI support (nm-applet) until the feature in
NetworkManager daemon is ready -- but don't hold back!! :)

Once it is ready, we probably also backport it to libnm-util, and from
there to latest stable branch nm-0-9-10.
