Isn't this a security flaw? We have two vpn networks at campus: campusnet - no encryption, private net - you have to authenticate using vpn to get online or use web based logon Eduroam - encrypted, real address directly If a cracker put up an unencrypted network with ssid campusnet, our laptops would connect automatically to it exposing it to the crackers manipulated dns and other goodies, making hostile takeovers a breeze. You should try to prevent this, or is this something we should take into account when setting this up? Asking the user to "watch out" is like believing in Santa Claus.. If the cracker put up an encrypted (or unencrypted) network with ssid Eduroam that accept all passwords, will NM connect to it?
