the network manager disables the ethernet device before the wireless connection is up

I'm not sure this is really a bug.  NM is designed to have only one interface up at a time.

Comment 2 Robert Love 2006-03-09 21:20:28 UTC

Yes, this is by design.  For a future product we could make the switchover a more atomic operation, but with the current design that is infeasible.
