This is by the way of an feature request .
I as many other do have a laptop that has wired and wireless networking as standard but sometimes i need to use a Mobile broadband dongal USB what is needed is an easy way to completely stop the wired and wireless networking to use the mobile system , The reason for this is that if wireless is disconnected but enabled then you can not get a route via the mobile connection you have to completely disable the wireless to use the mobile and easy way to do this is a much needed addition a means of picking which networking device is active .
Might be worth noting that this is a general issue that affects networking on more than just openSUSE. I've experienced the same issue on other current Linux distributions and on both Gnome and KDE4. Routing to the connected UMTS stick does not happen unless WiFi is explicitly (manually) disabled before connecting the UMTS stick. This is different behaviour than with the current eth and wlan behaviour where the OS smoothly switches between whichever is available.
