I use net-applet to select « active interfaces » (I have an included ethernet plug and a USB/ethernet adapter). I voluntarily deactivate wireless connection (in net_applet) as I don't ever want to use it. Everytime I connect/disconnect one interface, net_applet keeps notifying me about wireless being deactivated (come on net_applet I know it, it was me clicking that button in your dialog). While it could make sense to notify me about remaining connections when I deactivate some interfac, it makes no sense to notify me about the lack of wireless connection after I successfully connected the wired network.

I came across this by accident, looking for something else. Is your wireless connection still active in MCC? If you don't have a wireless interface at the applet, it won't tell you that it is unavailable??

I'm not convinced it's actually net applet that tells you this. I don't run NA but I still get those messages. Been meaning to poke into it at some point!
I just made a passing comment. I will leave this bug to those who experience it.

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].

Sorry for not having told you before, but if you don't ever want to use a network interface, you should remove it. Go to MCC => Network & Internet http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/mcc-network.html and click on "Remove a connection" to get the tool to remove it http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/drakconnect--del.html > Everytime I > connect/disconnect one interface, net_applet keeps notifying me about > wireless being deactivated (come on net_applet I know it, it was me clicking > that button in your dialog). Is "Metric" for the wlan adapter (in Network Center => Configure => Advanced => IP settings) set to a higher value (=lower priority) than both ethernet adapters?

As announced over a month ago, Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. This issue may have been fixed in a later Mageia release, so, if you still see it and didn't already do so: please upgrade to Mageia 5 (or, if you read this much later than this is written: make sure you run a currently maintained Mageia version) If you are able to reproduce it against a maintained version of Mageia, you are encouraged to 1. reopen this bug report, by changing the "Status" from "RESOLVED - OLD" to "REOPENED" 2. click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If you know it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. 3. give as much relevant information as possible. If you're not an experienced bug reporter and have some time: please read this page: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly If you see a similar issue, but are _not_sure_ it is the same, with the same cause, then please file a new bug report and mention this one in it (please include the bug number, too). If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
