Well, in my case it doesn't even connect to ethernet, although NetwokManager 
shows it as available. I have to manually click "System eth0", and then click 
"Disconnect" from the whatever connected wireless.

I don't want to uncheck the wireless button since I do want that option 
available in the case that I decide to unplug my laptop and roam. Furthermore, 
when I unplug the ethernet, it wont automatically connect to the wireless. I 
have to manually click the wireless. IIRC F8 of F10 does that correctly.
