Hmm okay, but I have a similar problem on my University. There is one for the complete campus (VPN) and one for special buildings with eap which I prefer. But sometimes it switch like at home. Deleting the gconf entry is okay for the problem with my neighbours. But not for my problem one the university, because when I leave the building (so there is no eap conncetion) then I'm using the campus WLAN and the gconf entry is back. Maybe some one have a good idea for this problem.
