On my ancient gnome2 system, the directories and files are in: ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/ cd to that directory, and (to find xfinity, for example): grep xfinity */*/* I do this fairly often, to delete xfinity hotspots, which open-hotspot-hunting network manager latches onto like a heroin addict looking for a fix. I wish there was a way to force it to always ignore "open" xfinity hotspots, besides burning down the houses containing the WAPs that broadcast it. :-( To avoid further arson prosecutions, I suppose I must set up a shell script in cron.daily to seek out the xfinity entries and delete them.
