And how NM was working *before* the introduction of the "network- checker ", I mean before 2016/04? May be it is just a personal feeling but I'm still not seeing a great utility in having this feature enabled as default.
It blindly switched the connection to 'online' when an IP address was assigned. The feature might not benefit you personally, but it does benefit users that actually travel with their notebooks. The discussion can be held for every on/off switch: some people would like it one way, some the other way. I'm not going to be the right person to toggle this thing off - after all I went through all the hoops to get all the services up and running before I toggled the config switch (so that there was actually no negative impact once we enabled it.. and it worked for 18 months until you realised we DID switch it on :) ) cheers Dominique
