Re: [PATCH] device: prefer wifi over wwan by default

This makes wifi preferred to wwan (the modem and bluetooth device

is usually unmetered and often faster than wwan, it makes sense to
prefer it. This is also how pretty much every smart-phone in the 
world
behaves, so it aligns better with user expectations too.

I also agree with this change.



On master and nm-1-0 branch (and 1.0.4), you can already configure this
by putting the following to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

[connection.priority-modem]
match-device=type:gsm,type:cdma
ipv4.route-metric=700
ipv6.route-metric=700

[connection.priority-bt]
match-device=type:bt
ipv4.route-metric=750
ipv6.route-metric=750
