Quote from upstream report (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359556):
There won't ever be user-defined priorities in NM. NM connects to the last network you've connected to that it can find. When you connect, NM timestamps the network, and it will first connect to the most recent network you have chosen. NM 0.7 also matches security settings, so if you have a WPA-enabled 'linksys' and an open 'linksys' saved it will pick the right one. 0.7 also has a connection editor that will allow for easy removal of networks, but with 0.6.5 you can also use gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /path/to/your/network to remove it. If you dont' want NM connecting to a network, remove it from the network list and dont' manually connect to it again. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #359556 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359556 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366780 Title: Please provide a mechanism whereby Wi-Fi networks can be prioritized Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I've got few wifi network profiles. NM connects to 1st available network in alphabetical order. But at my home NM connects to slow and unstable free network and I want to connect to my own wifi router. I suggest to add some priorities to different networks to set the order which network to connect to.
