This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/10489 "My laptop has a built-in ethernet card and I use a PCMCIA wifi card extensively. Using the network-admin from gnome-system-tools I am able to set up various profiles, most which leave the ethernet card disabled. However, when switching profiles, disabled interfaces which are up should be ifdown --force'd. This has caused a great deal of headache to determine.
According to its developer(s), gnome-system-tools is not under active development anymore. Functionality has been mostly integrated into GNOME Control Center / "[System] Settings". It is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
