Bug Description

My onboard Intel network adapter has [X] Connect automatically but when I start my Gnome session, I always have to tell it to Connect which it does without error.

You can't see it in the Gnome dialog windows but this connection is set to also connect to a VPN. I setup this connection with nm-connection-editor.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
