Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: important
In fact, I have two AP in my home, say 'A' and 'B'.
I use mainly 'A', but sometimes, network-manager connects to 'B' instead
of 'A'. In this case, if I say to network-manager to connect to 'A', it
disconnect to 'B' and... reconnect to 'B'.
If I restart network-manager, it connects either to 'A' or 'B', and like
before, I can't switch from one to another.

I'm closing this bug report. I haven't received any further feedback and it's
not really clear anyway what the actual problem is.
If you want to switch to another AP, you can do that easily within the drop down
menu of nm-applet.
If you restart network-manager and there are multiple AP in range, nm will
connect to the one which was previously selected, which I'd say is a reasonable
behaviour.
Cheers,
Michael
