By the way, the algorithm of "the last one" is not sufficient. Suppose I go to a nearby university, I can connect to eduroam (general access network), and do it. Then I came back to my university, where there is both eduroam and my local university network (with more privileges). I want to connect to that one, idependently from the fact that I was last connected to eduroam.

Example: in Spain we have a SSID wireless network that encompass most universities, "eduroam". I have that network defined and it connects ok. But when I am in MY university, which has an eduroam SSID available, I want to connect to the local "comillas" network, even if eduroam is stronger in signal because the firewalls are configured differently and, for example, I can print only when connected to it. NetworkManager now will connect to the strongest or, if they are (they typically are) at the same strenght, to one of them randomly. NetworkManager should have a way to mark "preferred" networks, to use even if there are other and stronger networks in sight. Thanks!
