What actually happens is that when you click the Ethernet connection it will disconnect you without giving you an option to reconnect + disappears.
The disconnecting is quite useful but the non reconnecting is bad since you have to physically reconnect the cable for it to reconnect.
Making it disconnect/reconnect like a wifi would be nice.
And the network settings needs a reconnect option to wifi and Ethernet.
Maybe the network settings could have some kind of auto discovery button? Instead of having to manually add from there. (like on the taskbar/plugin)
Fixed in Otter Shell 0.13.31 (now in the cockatiel repo).
The network panel now lists every Ethernet connection in every state (connected, connecting, disconnected, cable unplugged), so it no longer disappears. Clicking a connected one disconnects it; clicking it again reconnects, the same as Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi section also has a new Scan for networks row to discover networks from the panel.
