Wearing a "ignorant user" hat: the installer asks me which interface should be used, but the installed system ignores that. I have to choose the right card from the NetworkManager every time, and that's pretty annoying. If NetworkManager in the installed system can't make use of the information I give the installer, at least NetworkManager should remember what I tell it directly.

Wearing a hat indicating slightly less ignorance: Why does NM choose an interface that doesn't have a signal over one that does? And why does it choose a different interface randomly rather than systematically?
