Looking back at this, it because obvious why it's not being done that way. A wireless network with the same name and a different MAC (i.e. same ESSID(SSID) but different BSSID) is often an indication of a set of networks we can roam "through". If NM was to automatically add the BSSID, it would break roaming in all cases.
>From this point, the checkbox, or using some sort of dropdown for the BSSIDs seen or in range to allow the user to select one and "lock" to just on AP makes sense; although if you expect to roam between same-name networks with a different password you'll see it takes more time than if the password was the same. Regardless, please file the bug upstream so we can get input from the developers as how to best present this kind of UI change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711989 Title: same SSID and different MAC same pass is not true usually To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/711989/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
