Description Christian (Fuchs) 2010-06-12 16:16:18 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

In the plasmoid from svn trunk, when I disconnect myself from a WLAN network intentionally by clicking on the (x) button, knetworkmanager automatically reconnects to this network. Therefore the (x) button has no use at all. 

I need this as an example when I _want_ to use my UMTS connection instead of a active W-Lan connection. The only option I have is to disable w-lan completely. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
- Connect to a W-Lan (probably needs to be a "auto-connect" network, can't test right now) 
- Try to disconnect via the (x) button 

Actual Results:  
Knetworkmanager disconnects, but reconnects to the same network right afterwards. 

Expected Results:  
knetworkmanager should stay disconnected from this network until I either manually tell him to. 

From a usability point of view, it is probably the best solution to save this state for a session of knetworkmanager. e.g. reconnect to this network after a reboot. Otherwhise the (x) button has no function at all. 

Having the ability to set priorities for connections would solve my usecase as well. 

Version ist from current svn (today), KDE is 4.4.85, networkmanager is 0.8, gentoo x86_64

This has been fixed in Plasma NM and KDE SC 4.7.0 (to be released late July).
