In my mind I was expecting (never achieving it with netcfg neither netctl on arch though) getting only "lm-0-intel-wd" with lease and up and running, and only if its connection became unavailable, then look for a dhcp lease for lm-0-rtlwifi-wl...  I guess I was naive, and misunderstanding that things just work out of the box, thanks to linux supporting route metrics, and the way dhcpcd assigns metrics by default (one could set different values).

Yeah I suppose that's what I meant. In all honesty, I didn't know any of 
the details behind all of that. I just saw traffic only going through 
one route hah.
