network: activate wired profiles when clicked (2.30 KB, patch)

Description Frederic Peters 2013-08-13 19:32:55 UTC 
The Network settings panel only allows to configure connections, not to activate them.  It is now a problem as gnome-shell no longer permits choosing between different wired connections (bug 705104).

As written in bug 705104 comment 2, "System Settings should allow you connect to alternate Wired configurations".
Comment 1 Allan Day 2013-08-14 10:25:44 UTC 
Selecting a wired "profile" from the panel should activate it. Notice the check mark in the mockups (see the image at the bottom):

This was always the intention of the design; we just
didn't get around to it. It is becoming more important now
that the shell system status does not show wired profiles
anymore.

Thanks; I just tested it and it works fine here.
