Description Dan Winship 2012-08-09 16:18:12 UTC 
Once, a very long time ago, NM only supported ethernet and wifi, which it referred to as "wired" and "wireless". These days it supports multiple kinds of wired connections, and multiple kinds of wireless connections, but was still using "wired" to mean only ethernet, and "wireless" to mean only wifi.

nm-connection-editor and nm-applet have just been changed to refer to these as "Ethernet" and "Wi-Fi" instead. The control center may want to follow suit.

(cf bug 681532, which is the same bug for the shell network indicator.)
