Note that this is _certainly_ not safe; anyone can sniff and discover your SSID when you associate, reassociate, or probe your access point. The SSID is broadcast in the clear even if you have WEP or other encryption enabled, as 802.11 doesn't encrypt management frames, only data. > Is this expected? No, NM should be able to cache the BSSID of your access point and subsequently recognize it. > What can I do to solve this issue? I'd need some logs from syslog (usually /var/log/messages) of the connection attempt of NM to see what's going wrong.
