Hi everyone, I tried doing a search in the archives to see if these problems/ideas had been talked about in this mailing list before. I failed to find anything (maybe I used the wrong terms)
Anyway, I have 2 things to talk about. The first is the auto connect to wifi networks; I've had the network manager in the past be pathologically attached to certain wifi networks, espcially when those networks are called "Linksys". Perhaps a way (away from the normal gui) to remove defaults would be useful so if you made a mistake in selecting a wifi network at home you wouldn't be constantly correcting the network manager. Thought 2 is the problematic difference between being connected to the wifi network (or ethernet network) and actually being online. I got court out today because the Tend City wifi public network required that you agree to the terms and type in a guest user/password. now I'm not suggesting that the network manager should fill these kinds of web forms in automatically, but what I am suggesting is that a quick check to see if google.com is really google.com would allow the gui to display the signal strength in yellow for instance so we know the connection is there but you not yet online.
