Description
I use a USB wireless dongle as well as a wired network cable, and usually UMS sticks with whatever one gets used first. So if I find UMS with my phone, which is on the wireless network, UMS won't detect my TV which is on wired, and vice versa.
I haven't looked at the code so I'm not sure why it happens, but rarely it doesn't seem to happen, possibly after time has passed.
Pretty poor information to start a bug report with, but it's a start and hopefully it can get more detailed.
I think solving this might help solve some of the connectivity issues that get reported.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the discovery failure with the computer connected through both wired and wireless interfaces, then trace how UMS selects network interfaces. Done means devices on both networks are discovered reliably, with regression coverage for the multi-interface case.
