I haven't given up in the hope that NM will make a better WiFi AP
selection.
From what you have told me, a "supplicant", requests the NM to open
a network connection. The NM manager then selects something from the
various WiFi APs or wired connections
So this is
what I find very odd about WiFi quality and bars for WiFi:

After more
research I'd suggest the following metric to be used for channel
selection:

A decibel is just ten times that. The purpose of taking the

Dan, I ran a simple script to see how mncli
stacks up with iwlist. I need to do some formatting and
putting the data in order to make my full case. First, at a
cursory review the dBm is available from the radio. Secondly the quality

Just to be
clear, 10dB is a power ratio of 10:1 but the percent reported by
NM is just 90:55 = 1.6:1 which makes the choice really

No wonder the thing doesn't work: A supplicant can be a fervently
religious person who prays to God for help with a problem.
Praying to god has never worked for me.

What I think is happening is a wpa_supplicant bug with roaming and
"reassociate" handling. For some reason the supplicant sets a
reassociate flag when a given WiFi network

My laptop, when first opened, reports (via the Network Manage, I

a second or two it reports being connected. And it is. However,
