Comment(by mikus):

 Joyride-2631.  I am now applying a bypass to my system, which makes my
 ethernet connection reliable:  Manually edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70
 -persistent-net.rules so that the wired ethernet adapter is assigned to
 'eth1', while the wifi radio is assigned to 'eth0'.

 --------

 But having gotten the system to behave consistently when handling my
 ethernet connection, I would now want additional *manual* control over it:

  - The icon for 'Wired' should show in Frame as long as the ethernet
 adapter is plugged in, irrespective of whether there exists an active
 connection through that adapter.

  - When there is no active wired connection, the palette for the 'Wired'
 icon in Frame should show the entry 'Connect'.  Clicking on that entry
 should result in the same sequence of actions as would clicking on
 'Connect' in the palette of an Access_Point icon in Neighborhood View.

  - When there is an active wired connection, the palette for the 'Wired'
 icon in Frame should show the entry 'Disconnect'.  Clicking on that entry
 should result in the same sequence of actions as would clicking on
 'Disconnect' in the palette of the 'Wifi' icon in Frame.
