NM has had one for a while: 4 seconds.  THe problem with longer is that
then any time you do disconnect the cable or undock your laptop, NM
would think that you were still connected for 10 seconds (or more) until
if flipped over to wifi.  So there's a conflict here between people that
occasionally pull out the network cable to do stuff, and between people
that dock/undock and move from wired to wifi.
