It is best to tell Networkmanager not to automatically associate with ANY wifi access point. However,as far as I can tell, NetworkManager will connect to anything in range that you connected to before at some point and you can't say no. This is a feature most would call a "bug" except for the idiot devs. You can disable auto-connection per SSID for those NM has memorized/used before via the applet (or CLI utilities). You can also delete old/stale SSIDs that are no longer needed. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
