So far all expected. What is unexpected is the following: What I do is: - plug my laptop to the office LAN via an ethernet cable - turn on the laptop Expected: after boot, the computer should connect to the wired network, and hence not attempt to connect to the WiFi network Observed: every single time I boot, 100% systematically, I get the prompt that says that it couldn't connect to the WiFi network and asks me to enter the password manually. The popup shows up even before I log in (usually even before the login screen shows up, when part of the screen is still a mess with random garbage presumably from the uninitialized GPU memory). This most likely means one of two things: either the network manager attempts to connect to the WiFi network before it checks the wired network (by the time I dismiss the prompt the wired network is already connected), or it attempts to connect to WiFi even though it is already connected to the wired network. Either way the behavior is wrong.
