Hi, I've been running some tests on the autoconnection feature of NM. I was wondering when did the timestamp for each connection gets updated. I've been monitoring the connections.cfg file while being connected to different AP but the timestamp field never gets changed. Is this what it is supposed to do, or i'm missing on something.
Thanks for your answers.
