After boot there was no nm-applet icon in the GNOME notification area. I expected to see one there. The applet was running, I suppose, but was not showing in the notification area. At this time, all networking interfaces were killed by NetworkManager.

After restart of NetworManager the nm-applet icon did show up (with the red cross indicating no connection), and offered me the mapped interfaces. I'd have expected this to happen after boot, or my interfaces be left alone.

Ideal operation for me would have been:

after boot nm-applet shows up, the mapping-selected wired connection is active, the others are available for selection, wireless is enabled.

If that is not possible, I'd have liked to have NetworkManager handle just wireless, and leave my wired connections completely alone.

If that is also not possible, I guess I'll just deinstall NetworkManager ;-)
