I noticed that when I boot @home, where I have wired + wireless, the wired
seems to connect when I login (need to check if it connects before I
login).

But @work, I have wired + some wireless that never worked.  When I login,
first it says 'connected to wired', but then indicates trying to connect to
the broken wireless, then finally connects to wired.

Wish NM would get it priorities straight!
