Comment:

 Depends upon what you mean by 'ignored'.  I don't have wireless at home,
 so I've __always__ run with an ethernet adapter.

 [Initially I did not have a DHCP server installed on my ethernet, and my
 attempts to (at the XO) specify a permanent IP address for my XO were
 thwarted by Network Manager.  So I stopped fighting City Hall, and set up
 servers.  Ever since, __when I boot my XO__, it reliably connects to the
 ethernet.  << But things can happen (e.g., suspend) -- where the Network
 Manager still steps in and kills my ethernet connection. >> ]

 [[BR]]
 G1G1 users will not normally have a 'school server'.  I have NOT tried an
 ethernet connection *plus* a 'school server' on the mesh -- but when I
 boot my XO when there is already an active mesh containing other XOs, my
 outside-world connection works no different through ethernet at home than
 it does through a wireless AP connection (if I happen to have instead gone
 to an establishment that provides an AP).

 At home, I don't see wired ethernet being 'ignored'.
